Crimping tool?

I'm using this one from hobbyking. Its designed for JST SH connectors but works really well on the terminals supplied with the Duet boards.

Its also the right price.

This is much like my good-ol' favorite wire stripper: https://www.tenaquip.com/product/klein-tools-compact-wire-strippers-cutters-1003-tj950?gclid=Cj0KCQjwkoDmBRCcARIsAG3xzl-MXiTSYMqHqhu7HroV0T7j5hSn00PgdRmhN2ijze64RkRrIKYkDQcaAqksEALw_wcB
that I can still use for the next couple years at least.You may want to save for this advanced model of your striper. It has a wire gauge dial which you can quickly change, no tools necessary.

Hi,
If you have deepish pockets and a lot of wire to strip here is a very effective but expensive stripper with a accurate wire size adjustment and a nice, stable strip length gauge.
They work well.

This one for example doesn't need adjustment and will never nick the wires https://www.amazon.com/Teledyne-Thermal-Stripper-Without-Temperature/dp/B00DNQHBCS
It also works well for hard to strip insulations such as teflon.

Well, if there was ever a tool that begged for a Chinesium knock off, that one sure fits the bill!
A bit of looking around found this:
https://smile.amazon.com/PATCO-Thermal-Wire-Stripper-PTS-10/dp/B00R3R86JUa bit less coin of the realm... With of course a downgrade in quality. Seems a great Instructables project for someone.
@deckingman - I'm with ya!! You made me LMAO. I can do flat plaster, but when it comes to corners - looks like a three year old with palsey did it, and the more I try to fix it the worse it gets.
If I need to crimp a plug with more than 4 wires I'll get three perfect, after much effort, then mangle the fourth, which of course make it too short now, so I have to settle for an uneven looking job or let my OCD take over and redo the d*mn thing.

@fcwilt Sorry for the late reply. My son got married over the weekend.
Using the ferrals on the Duet2 WiFi board, they all work great. I crimp the ferrals 3 times to ensure they get a very small inside diameter and they fit nice and tight over the posts. I can actually pick up the board by grabbing any single wire and they do not come loose or come off.
Given this, however, it is still a temporary job so I'm only doing this until I get the exact right solution with better JST crimpers.As for the ferrals going into the green blocks, same thing, but I also flatten those a bit then let the clamps squeeze them down.

Thanks for the feedback. I never imagined pushing the ferrules onto the pins.
In any case I'm pretty sure the Duet connectors are Molex:

For the Dupont connectors I find the HT225D that David recommends to be quick and easy to use. At my age I do use a magnifying headband with light.

@dougal1957 That is exactly what I have been using. Exact same kit. It worked great.
