Open Barrel Crimper

Post by RV7Factory »

Anyone have a recommendation for an open barrel pin crimper?

Both B&C and Stein sell them, but I am curious if anyone has any other options or comments?

Thanks! Happy Holidays!

Is this for the D-sub pins ? If so, I'd recommend using the closed barrel pins and crimper. A much better way to securly crimp the pins.

Sorry, I should have specified, but no it is for Molex/Mate-N-Lock connectors. Thanks.

Ah, in that case, I'd recommend the one's sold from B&C.

The BCT-2 is the pair I have.
