Thanks

I heat shrink all mine, but Home Depot sells a Raychem fast-on that is pretty high quality. It has a plastic shell. I used a few of these so far.

I have the ProCrimper, purchased as a kit from Digi-Key, and it is very nice indeed. The stock kit components were an assortment, not all PIDG, but Stein took care of that in a hurry. With the ProCrimper and actual Tyco/Amp PIDG terminals, it's pure crimping pleasure. Highly recommended.
