    You don't need to buy the tool to do a few pins, just small pliers and good glasses.

    But that simple crimper is a bit overpriced..

    This is a much better tool as it has a rachet action and holds pin better. Its a bit more expensive but if you do any crimping on harnesses, its worth it.

    -----------

    I now use a different style connector . It is a one piece with the pins molded in.
    Its insulation displacement, but i would suggest adding a tiny bit of solder.

    Here are the digikey part#s for them

    3pin A31003-ND
    4pin A31004-ND
