It looks like the price of crimping tools has inflated well beyond $10. The least expensive I am finding are $25, and they quickly go to $60, $99 and even hundreds of $.So, looking for recommendations. This tool has good reviews, but those could even be fakes, these days. https://www.amazon.com/APIOLO-Connectors-Compatible-Electrical-Connections/dp/B0C6LDPWKV/ref=sr_1_5
I think @cec209 was referring to a pin/receiver removal tool at $10. I paid $22 (now $14) for this Gardner Bender crimp tool many years ago. I recommend crimp and solder.
We have been using this exact one for years and years with 100% success. You don't need to spend $280.https://powerwerx.com/tricrimp-powerpole-connector-crimping-tool
