Crimping tool?


Any recommendations for an inexpensive crimping tool for fastening this contact terminal on to 22 awg wire?   Thx!

If you know how to solder (any audio enthusiast should really learn, if they don't already know how):

1) strip the wire to be attached to the connector

2) with a Needle Nose Pliers; delicately crimp the wire to the connector

3) for extra added conductivity, add a small amount of solder to the connection

^ and a depinning tool

Machine crimps nearly fuse the connector and wire into a solid. It's almost impossible to achieve with a hand tool.

Assuming it's a one-time connection and is for audio, better results are obtained by soldering the wire to the header holes. All connectors are audible.
