    I am sorry but the crimper you are showing will NOT work at all 
well! It is exactly like the $10.00 Crimper on the web page and neither 
work worth a flip. If your not going to solder the wire to the 
connector, buy the $50.00 crimper.

    As it turns out you MUST solder if you use a cheap crimper.
