    Here's the article that I followed to modify a cheap $30 crimper to work on our Buick's Packard 56 terminals: http://www.hotrod.com/articles/three-plug-options-for-wiring-systems/

    If you have a lot of crimps to do, you'll probably not be happy with this tool. But for a crimp or two now and then, it's great.

    I have found that I need to use a vice to make the crimp for the 16 gauge terminals. As such I've not been able to do crimps unless the wiring harness/wire is free to move to my vice.
