Quoted from hailrazer:

I've got the expensive and the cheap and this is the one I always use now:

Not saying the crimper is bad, but according to the description, it's only for 3 and 4 pin Molex Connectors.

... so if it's a 2 pin connector, I'm hosed?

Exactly!

Quoted from arcademojo:

Ok a little off topic but, is there a tool for these connectors? The little screwdriver just doesn't seam right.

If you're going to be doing a lot of those a good ratcheting tool is a must, but if you don't use them often or only for a few connectors, these are fine:

There's one for .100 and .156 spacing connectors. Just don't use a screwdriver or something else with a blade edge. it's sloppy, can damage the connector and you can hurt yourself.
