The AMP tool would have taken, like, days to get here, so I came up
with my own system that worked pretty well:
1. Put 18 ga. wire in slot and push it down a bit
2. Put a small allen wrench on top of the wire
3. Use pliers to squish allen wrench down on top of wire (I used some
pliers that press down in a parallel line)
4. Use pliers to squeeze either side of connector together.
I got six out of six working power cables, so I'm happy. Next time
I'll probably try stripping and tInning the wires, or buying the right
tool for the job. (Psssh!)
