  PART# 726603 This tool curls the crimp back in on itself grabbing the wire much better than other regular crimpers do. You can just make out the tiny peak and rounded shaping that bundle instead of smashing flat. A second crimp will attach the factory type connector to the wire's insulator holding it tightly and supporting the conductor for a fully bonded repair.
  NAPA has assorted connectors that are brass and match quite well but for larger needs I have found better prices online here and there.  :yesnod:
  I have tested this tool and am pleased with how well it works and pricing at 45.00 was comparable with others given no shipping.

Are you talking about the crimping for the wires that are in a plastic plug type of connector?

Right, I've rebuilt my harness in some areas with it and even fixed my new engine harness that had a loose blue wire crimp at the bulkhead connector.

If you dig around on Amazon you'll find those for 35 USD delivered to your door, no tax depending on where you live. Good luck, Mike.

  "Automotive electrical connector" should do for a search. (You may want to add "Mopar" or "Dodge".)  :scratchchin:
