the one in the middle.

I have one that my employer supplied me. It's made by Weldon. I have always known it as an open barrel pin crimper and they come in many sizes. Try here as a search for the tool I have didn't get any results.

I also have the t-12 shown in an earlier post. I hate it. Its too bulky to get in tight areas. I disabled the rachet paw to allow correction. Small pins have a tendency to jump to one side or the other. The racheting action makes you committed to a crimp without allowing correction. I truely hate that tool.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I think I'll just solder the damn wires, it was only a couple of connections, and it wasn't that important to even have a connector there.
