[sdiy] Name that connector!

[Tom Bugs]

I'm curious why they capitalize the M_M_T letters? (maybe a simple 
codename like MTA?)

Anyways, the connectors look good and I've been considering using them 
on a particular project.
However - I tried crimping with a basic IDC tool modified slightly to 
deal with the keying pin but the results weren't great & I wouldn't be 
entirely confident that all connections were made.
The proper tooling is serious $$$$.

Any lower cost tooling alternatives people can recommend?

Cheers, Tom
