    New to pinball and crimping connectors, hopefully someone can help me out.

    Re-crimped my WPC GI connectors ealier, bought a SN-28B for that job (https://www.amazon.com/Crimping-High-Carbon-28-18AWG-Crimper-0-1-1-0mm/dp/B077629873)

    Now I got a few 2-3-4 pin molex connectors I need to change.
    If I get this right they use 0.063″ or 0.093" pins, which means I cant use the same tool as I did for my connectors in the backbox (right?)

    So what tool do I need for these pins?

    I use the Sargent crimper. Have done hundreds of crimps and a really nice tool. I replace every single IDC connector in every machine. I hate those.
