    All:

    Looking for options for crimpers. Really surprised how expensive some of these crimpers are. Of course I bought a pair on Amazon and they aren't working. Get what I paid for???!!!

    Anyway, any options would be appreciated...

    Part # MOL-WHT- 1921
    $22.
    They work perfect

    i second what cheddar posted. I use them for those .093 connectors all the time.

    If I am just doing one or two crimps or special cases like two wires into one crimp I always reach for the 1026-CT / BCT-1. I have had it for probably 10 years and its held up well.

    If I need to do a lot of crimps the ratcheting ones like the amazon link is easier on the hands but I feel like I have less flexibility with it.

    ebay.com link: 4 in 1 Self Adjustable Wire Crimper Pliers Ratcheting Terminal Crimping Tool Set

    This kit has 4 jaw sets, for open barrel Molex, insulated lugs, non-insulated lugs, and ringlet connectors. Included is a nice stripper, and a tool to remove/replace the jaw screws, plus jaw ID card for crimp type, plus a nice nylon zip bag to secure all parts.

    Very pleased with it.

    The blue grip set, and red stripper are virtually same tools, the red stripper was from Radio Shack years back, and works exactly like the new yellow unit. Both work great.

    Blue grip crimper goes by the name "SN-28B Pin 2.54mm 3.96mm 18-28AWG Crimp Plier Tool Crimper JST Molex for Dupont"
