[Elecraft] K3 power supply question

Hello group

Awaiting my K3, I am preparing the transistion from TS-850 and anticipate on 
buying a compact SMPS.
I see that the power connection is an Anderson PowerPole receptacle. That 
type of connector is not common here in EU or at least in Belgium.
Is there a mating male part supplied to fit the cable from the PSU? There is 
a German (ham) distributor for these things but a crimp tool costs 66 Euro 
(approx 100$) which is a silly investment to crimp only one connector.
Is there an alternative way of crimping or fitting the PowerPole?

Thanks for info / advice.
