Connectors crimper?

DFoxtails · April 22nd, 2013, 17:51

I've run in to an issue while re-doing the wires in a friends gun. He runs tamiya connectors and I need to make a short extension. I have the connectors and housings from my RC days, but no crimper. Can I use a regular wire crimper or needle nose pliers, or would I need a special crimping tool?

If you are carefull you can use plier.
I have a cheap wire crimper but always do them with long nose (I do lots of connector at work)
