Not after the cheapest (or the flashiest!)

What does the job consistently and is made to last?

I need to re-pin the Temp 2 sender plug to eliminate a high resistance fault...

Durite make a good dedicated one, but most non-insulated terminal crimpers can be used if the die width is thin enough, the cheap ones are actually good enough, one thing with non-insulated crimpers especially when new is to lubricate the forming dies, I periodically run a soft lead pencil around the dies.

Thanks for that, I'll shop around.

Good tip!
Thank you.

Ian I also have the Durite ones.

I have a couple of the laser ratchet sets with different dies in from Rapid electronics. Reasonable price and I get very consistent job. I had insulated, non insul and F type, all were good
