I just received my 4 to 1 cord adapter from Motion Raceworks. It has the deutsch pins in the kit but need to come up with the crimper. I thought I had one located but it ended up being another style of tool. Is this type of connector good for basic automotive wiring since it looks like I need to purchase one for this project. Thanks

I just went through this for a new wiring project for myself. I looked at the Deutsch connectors as an upgrade over Weatherpack.

I opted to buy the HDT 48-00 crimper. There are several alternatives on Amazon.

The type of crimper you get is going to depend on the type of terminals/pins you have/get. wing terminals you can use the popular blue handled $30 crimper from summit/jegs/amazon that also works for weatherpack/metripack connectors.

If you have barrel pins, which is what I recommend, JRReady makes a nice crimper that is only $160-170 on amazon and is affordable compared to the industrially rated $3-400+ crimpers.

I ended up with two crimpers. One for the bigger barrel pins and one for the smaller ones. If you use the smaller connectors then the crimper is much more affordable. Good luck, they do seem more durable than the weatherpacks.
