I've been using a lot of Hirose DF13 connectors lately, and thinking  
that it may be cost-effective to get a crimper now.  But not for  
$862-$986 (H10889-ND and H9994-ND at Digikey) !!!  =8-O   Yes I know  
Digikey will do custom wires, which is what we use now, but I have to  
order over 1400 wires this week, and considering the in-house option.

Anyone know if there are lower-cost/generic crimpers available that  
have dies available for the DF13?  And do these things crimp reliably  
(relatively foolproofly) or will it be a skill that someone will take  
time to learn?

And while I'm here, are there any other sources that will crimp these  
wires at a better cost?

Thanks,
-Neil.
