I have the Molex crimper linked above (PN: 0638111000).
It works but really takes some practice to figure out how to get good results. If you wind up getting one, I can share my experience.
Many thanks, i will keep you in mind.
Although, as i was reading over this i found this one on amazon:

Any thoughts on these?
No experience with that one, but have used 3rd party crimpers with mixed success. Where you can afford it, try to use the manufacturer's crimp tool because it has actually been tested on the products you intend to use it with.
Now, should you buy the cheap, "service-grade" Molex brand crimper or a 3rd party ratcheting crimper? I don't know. But at least with the Molex crimper, you have a little more confidence that the tool will work as intended.
The $50 Molex 0638111000 takes at least 20 bad crimps before you figure out a good technique. And the time it takes to make a single crimp is pretty long (compared to a good ratcheting crimper),
but, the crimps are quite good and definitely reliable.
