I have to run some cables in the bumper and I want to use waterproof connectors housing. The problem is that I don't have any crimping pliers and I don't know what type should I buy for this type of pins/connectors. Thank you.

I believe crimping pliers for weather pack, metri-pack, or molex connectors will work. IWISS makes a tool just for those types of connectors. Alternatively, Paladin makes a crimping tool with die sets for those and other types of connectors.

I've found 2 pliers. One of them is only for molex ( amazon.co.uk/… ), described as 28-18AWG. The other one is with changeable die sets( amazon.co.uk/… ) and the one similar to the molex is described as 16-10AWG. Do you think that the second one will do the work, because I might also need the other die sets.– Da3m0naCommented Jan 3, 2018 at 8:06

I assume those would work. I have used the Paladin 1300 series frame and 2033 die set. I have also used the IWISS IWS-1424B crimping tool. I have used the Paladin frame and die sets in an industrial environment. They are quality tools. The IWISS tool is economical, but I don't think it would hold up as well.
