Anybody know where I can find a crimper for the bullet connectors? Make, model, sources?
Thanks in advance.

Local auto parts chain should carry somethin. They're pretty common tools. Maybe a friend has one?

TD- those look like regular crimpers you would use for sleeve type splices and terminals. I'm looking for ones that curl the "ears" into the wire, similar to the type used for amphenol pins and sockets.

You would need a crimper designed for uninsulated or bare terminals. Some crimpers can do both, but getting a specialized one from companies like AMP, Klein, Paladin, etc. is your best bet.

Amphenol crimpers are a special size and shape just for their products.

Radio Shack (You've got questions, We've got blank stares) has a crimping tool with changeable dies that will crimp connector pins. Look on ebay and you may find a used one. Otherwise I have used needle nosed pliers for the last 30 years with great success.
