"The crimp tool is a luxury. You can do just as well with a good pair of slip-joint pliers. Set the slip joint to it's wider position so that the jaws are more parallel to each other. Don't worry that the empty pliers won't close completely when set this way; the thickness of the connector makes up for this. A slow, firm squeeze and you're all set. " <br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br />A crimp is not a luxury, it is a tool designed to do a certain job, and that is to make safe, reliable crimps. They are not expensive. Please NEVER crimps wires in the fashion stated above, especially with higher voltages such as 110VAC. Death and / or fire can occur. <br />
