Amphenol crimper options

Mike at Energy Commission

I am modifying the PV cabling on my little solar generator and will be using the Amphenol connectors. Is there an affordable option for a non hammer crimp tool for these connectors, I would think the generic Home Depot crimp tool would work.

OK so stock MC4 connectors, you can use one of the hand crimpers, like this one,http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEMCo-Solar-Crimper-Tool-MC4-PV-Terminal-Crimping-Solar-Panel-Crimp-Connector-/370886923018

I got mine, diff brand, for ~ $30 Cdn.
