Got some under-counter lighting strips, but I don't know what to use
for crimp tool?


I've crimped similar before using a small locking grip pliers (Mole Grips).
I set the adjustment for a tight sliding fit to the part being crimped to
then squeezed the crimp on until the pliers locked. Unlock pliers and
remove, job done.

OK. I was thinking "Vise Grips" might work.
