Crimpers are just too expensive.

Is there some way to get acceptable crimps without a crimper.

I guess, also, that I could buy one on ebay and later sell it, but I

I think the replies so far give a fair impression of the situation. You
can make a joint which will work without a crimper, but you can't do a
nice job.
