Deutsch Crimp Tool

Here are the crimp tools referenced in my post above:

The one on the left was purchased at Fry's Electronics for ~$8 (also at Radio Shack IIRC) and does an acceptable job though some crimps require some modest dressing.
The one on the right is from Sargent Tool (~$25 on Amazon) and, because of its articulated action, does a nice job--crimps require zero dressing.
I've probably done 200+ crimps on my bike and those of my buddies' installing a variety of Deutsch, AMP, Delphi, etc. quick disconnect plugs/receptacles and have not had a wire failure. The $200+ tools are nice, but these less expensive tools get the job done for this hobbyist.
