Molex Crimping Tool

Darkstar101

I decided to shorten the cables of my PSU cause it's a mini-ITX build, and the cables that came with my PSU are longer than 600mm, and I want them to be 300mm.

 

I've found connectors and pins from the brand Phobya, in shops in my country.

 

But what I will also need is a Molex Crimping Tool like this:

And seems I can't find any in my country.

Will this last crimping tool work with Molex pins?

Yes that looks like that molex crimper should work since PSU cables are 18 AWG wire and ATX pins, the smaller crimp size will be useful for fan or front header pins.
