Crimping a Molex part

[Rileyesi]

I am using a Molex connector (part number 43025-0200). This is a crimp type
fitting. They recommend a special crimp tool (part number 63811-2800) to crimp
the wire to the connector. The best price I've seen so far is $180 US.

I don't have to crimp alot of them, so I don't want to shell out the dough.

I'm hoping someone is familiar with this part and can tell me of a way to crimp
without the expensive tool or maybe a cheaper source for the tool.

Thanks.

Newark lists a "Universal Crimp Tool", Molex 63811-1000, that we've
used with those contacts - it is only Can$51.

BTW, posting the same message *individually* multiple newsgroups
is a terrible idea.
