Molex Crimper recommendations?

Looking for a molex crimping tool, trying to avoid spending $60 on the one mouser sells...

I have the radioshack one, it's junk, totally doesn't work.  There's gotta be something in between the two right?

Thanks!

i have a cheapest homedepot one, and it works perfectly...
trick is :
u are probably placing your crimp (tint metal piece that  holds the cable) wrong way around...

 

[kambo]

this is how you need to place it... and squeeze... works like charm, every time...

Always a possibility, can you post a link to the one you have?

Yeah that's how I've been doing it.  The one I have worked fine with radioshack connectors, the molex connectors I'm using now are smaller and it's not working so good.

i dont remember which one, but it was the cheapest one i could find...
its not the tool,
its all about direction of your placement...
