I suggest that you contact AMP UK. The AMP crimp tool is by far the best and
also has exchangeable heads allowing you to use it for multipole connectors.
I have standardised on AMP Mate-n-lok connectors for all of my multipole
connectors within the aircraft and can use the same tool for these and PIDG
connectors with a simple change of crimp block.
At Sun-n-fun '97 the electrical group tested quite a few crimpers and the AMP
one certainly gave the best results. "Imported" units (read China) gave such
bad results that you wouldn't want to use one anywhere near an aircraft.
