Toolboard 1LC connectors and tool?

[SpeedyDad]

What are the tiny connectors (the metal part of the connector) used in the Toolboard and what crimp tool do I need for them? The one I use of the connectors for the Duet mainboard don't seem to work. I have tried two different ones. I'll probably need to buy new connectors to replace the ones I screwed up.

@SpeedyDad You can also buy pre-made leads in various lengths, 2, 3 or 4 way crimped and fitted to shells at one end, although you may have to shop around online to find them. Then all you have to do is join them to the wires on the fan/sensor/whatever.

I actually figured out my problem. I have a couple crimping tools I use for RC stuff (servo wires, etc). Nice ratcheting ones. When I would crimp the wire, the wire would break where the insulation was crimped. After looking at it, I found the long legs of the connector itself that are supposed to crimp the wire insulation was curling in on itself and cutting the wire. My remedy was to cut the little legs shorter. No problems now.
