I wore out my set of Molex open barrel crimping pliers on the last harness I built. They are a well made product and did exactly what was claimed. The pivot became slightly “rough” for lack of a better term, when I was 200-300 crimps into using them, requiring a little more effort to open after crimping. There is definitely a learning curve and most of that is looking at the crimp after crimping and doing a “pull test”. I will definitely buy another set. Most of the instructions on the connectors that require this type of crimp prohibit soldering at all saying it’s an unreliable solution. Del, I do not doubt your abilities or experience but most of them frown on soldering.
