This year, we are having a MUCH easier time =).
My feeling has always been without the crimper, you will spend so much time fixing and making cables that you'd be better off spending $5 for premade cables. When you factor in the cost of just the connectors, pins, and wire, you are already in the several dollar range, so the savings isn't that much.

Talking Re: PMW connectors

Thank you, I am going to place an order on these and try it out, With the crimper

I looked up buying all the cables we would need and then compared with making our own, we will save 24$. Hope this is for the best, We'll find out.
