They seem to sell and stock a lot of them. |

I got mine from amazon-FR (still listed at 36€). No clones but don't care as they are really fine crimpers, way above anything from china I got. |

Yeah, I also bought the PA-20 from Precise Hand Tools on ebay (remove spaces). At some points, they also sold on Amazon UK if I remember correctly. TME.eu (Europe, Polish company) seems to be stocking them and the prices look good to me : https://www.tme.eu/en/katalog/#search=engineer&s_field=accuracy&s_order=DESC&id_category=100115&page=1 Their shipping is typically decent, a few euro per package or something like that. Order it with solder flux or solder wire and shipping costs will matter less. |

Just to follow up: I received my PA-09 crimpers from Amazon.ca today for CAN$61.00. It contains dies for 1.0, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.9mm Dupont connectors (and other systems, I'm sure). A bit expensive, but I can attest that they work perfectly as advertised and reviewed by others. In my opinion, if you really want to crimp your own Dupont connectors, there's little point in trying to make do with $20 - $30 Chinese crimpers: you're just wasting your time and frustration tolerance. As far as I'm concerned, the base cost of entry for crimping usable Dupont connectors is the PA-09 crimper plus the connectors themselves. Thanks to Helius for the initial pointer to the PA-09. :-+ |
