Is there a connector/crimp tool set that's recommended for hobbyists? I make just a couple devices per year in a year where I'm actively pursuing the hobby. Mostly audio, some home automation and on the fence if I should dive a bit deeper into either synthesizers or robotics. Up to now I've only done screw terminals and soldered plugs. Spending even a couple hundred bucks on a single crimp tool seems like such a hurdle, especially as basically every tutorial or open source design I see seems to be using different connectors.

edit: nvm, I just never did proper research. It seems like you can get a high quality crimping tool like the Engineer Pad-11 for just ~50 bucks and it does a bunch of common connectors like JST-SHD. I don't know why I thought I had to spend hundreds on single purpose tools.
