Heat tape crimper?

leonut · Jul 23, 2009

Is it possible to use something besides this crimping tool to connect flexwatt heat tape with? I'd really rather not spend an extra $50 to buy a tool i probably won't use much if at all.

All I have ever used was a pair of pliers I have set up countless heat tapes over the years and never had any problems.
