Default Tip: crimp tiny connectors without frustration

I would have thought I had posted this before but ...

Big heavy crimps and tiny little connectors are a recipe for frustration. The challenge? How to you place the tiny connector into the crimp jaws?

Tip: use a spare pin or piece of safety wire as a ?handle?. Stick it into the end of the female connector, now it easy to hold and position into the crimps. Close the crimp just enough to start pressing on the crimp.

Now you can take your time to hold the crimp in one hand and the suspect wire in the other.
