For some reason that still escapes me, proper crimping tools are either A) Hard to get hold of, or B) Ridiculously expensive, and most of the time both.<br />
<br />
Most people probably use pliers and get almost passable results.<br />
<br />
==Wire Strippers==<br />
[[File:Wire_stripper.jpeg|200px|thumb]]<br />
Wire strippers make dealing with cables a lot less painful, you can get get a decent one on ebay for 10USD.<br />
<br />
Make sure you get one that supports the wire gauge you're using, typically 20-30 AWG.<br />
<br />
==Pliers==<br />
They work if you're careful, results will not be as nice as with a proper crimp tool.<br />
