I posted the following message several weeks ago....

I picked up a couple of tools for
fixing wires into MTA connectors (Mouser part numbers):

1 571-598041 1 22.000 22.00
156 T HANDL MAINT TL
AMP MTA .156' Connectors

1 571-598031 1 20.200 20.20
100 T HANDL MAINT TL
AMP MTA .100' Connectors

These aren't the fancy ones with a trigger; these are the T-shaped
ones that still require a vice to hold the connector and a bit of
grunting to get the wire in place. I've found these tools to be much
more reliable than the old pliers method, especially when building 20
power cables. The results are consistent and perfect each time.
