I got really lucky and a friend of mine gave me a full set of crimping <br>
tools with various dies that he picked up at a surplus place, otherwise <br>
I'd be crimping them with a pair of needle nose pliers or soldering them <br>
in. Some of those crimp tools can be over $200.<br>
<br>
There's a really nice wire stripper I'd like to get but it's $130. It <br>
uses teflon cutting dies to guarantee you don't nick the wire. This is <br>
important since a single nicked strand would cause the wire to fail QA, at <br>
least in aerospace and according to a NASA wiring spec I found this week.<br>
