A:  First of all, let’s clarify a “go” and a “no-go” status.  On your gauge, you should have both of those for the 3/4” size. One should just slip over the crimp giving a “go” status. The other should not slip over the crimped ring, giving a “no-go” status. An over crimped ring would allow both of them to slip over the crimped ring, whereas an under crimped ring would prevent both from slipping over the ring. If this isn’t happening, what I would do it adjust your crimper all the way in one direction, crimp a ring by itself, then adjust the tool all the way in the other direction and crimp another ring to measure and compare the two. You should then be able to determine if the gauge and the crimper are working and if either or both are defective.
