Quoted from DavidLee:

I bought it and will give it a try and report back here.

Not all IDC connectors are the same, this tool will not work for pinball machines. You need a .156 IDC connector punch down tool.

Like this.

Or this. https://www.shapeways.com/product/XXT77BYJU/idc-156f-wire-inserter-pinball-tool?optionId=56007855
https://www.shapeways.com/product/XACSFLRSE/idc-156f-crimping-handle-pinball-tool?optionId=56016634

I own the one from Shapeways, being made of stainless it will last a life time for me.

This sure looks like a .156 connector. Have you measured it? If it is indeed a .100 connector you will need a .100 punch tool like this. http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/77-IDC-A100

The selection for .100 connectors isn't as good so you get bigger ones then you need and cut them down with a utility knife.
Since your from Minnesota you can use Digikey too. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/4-644540-0/A31074-ND/698328

If you were closer I would give you a connector and let you use my punch tool.

Quoted from swinks:

I really have to upgrade the punch to one end with 0.156 and other to 0.100

I will buy the first one.
