If you only have a handful of pins to crimp, I would not buy the crimper tool. It is possible but time consuming to use other hand tools or solder. I've done a few that way, and so it takes 5 minutes to make one connection, if you are only ever going to do four. I do own watch type crimpers for the kinds of terminals I use frequently
