This Molex crimper appears to be working very well.

2 things to note:

The locator blade (aka Crimp tool locator assembly, terminal) is missing from this tool. Many uses find it unnecessary and choose to remove it. Someone in this tool’s history did just that. The hole in the lower jaw is where the screw goes that holds the Crimp tool locator in place. Since there is no Locator, the screw is not needed.

   Also, the shiny screw in the upper jaw was installed by me to replace a missing screw.  This screw secures the crimping teeth in the upper jaw.
