Throw away the crimpers!

If you're willing to spend that kind of money on DuPont connectors and use a different crimping tool, then this kit is for you. The connectors themselves are fine, if a little flimsy. crimping tools. Garbage; it cannot produce a compression small enough to fit into housings. Adjusted as far as possible, its smallest flex is still so much that it sticks out and splits hulls. The point is not so much in the thickness of the corrugation as in its breadth; these connectors require a narrower crimp. Don't think about using those crimping tools on JST connectors that require less crimping than those DuPonts! In my own case, I found an old, rusty Taiwanese Radio Shack crimping tool that made smaller, tighter crimps that actually fit DuPont housings. , so that I can continue to use the connectors from this set. but I'm really, really unhappy that I spent over twenty dollars on a nine dollar bag full of DuPont connectors. I can't imagine what use I'll ever find for those stupid ratcheting pliers.
