Default electrical connector crimpers/dies

Either AMP "red & blues" P/N 59250; or Daniels HX4 with Y501 dies. The
Daniels tools are often on eBay, and reasonably priced as pro tools go. The
AMP crimper is harder to find and more expensive. The AMP crimpers are in
my AOG bag, and the Daniels' are in the big toolbox because they can be used
on coax too.

I use Daniels HX-4 and did so in the service with good results. Like
any other tool it must be inspected from time to time using the correct
GO-NO - GO gauge. As for connectors I prefer cannon plugs with crimp
pins. Again I use Daniels tools for this too.
