[urq] fusebox replacement q

I'm about to replace my fusebox, or was about to, and have new
molex/amp/open barrel/d-sub connectors to put into the female connectors of
the car that I got when I bought the fusebox, but I can't find a suitable
crimper for the job.  I've got a crimper that will do 28-22 awg, but I
figure I probably need one that goes down to 12 or 14.  What have others
used to crimp new female pins when doing this job?  A link to the right tool
would be great.  I've seen modular crimpers with interchangeable dies, is
this the way to go?

Should I hold off on the whole project until I have a good set of crimpers,
or would there be enough of an improvement by just swapping the box now and
redoing the fried pins when I get the chance (I have on occasion, before
relaying the rad fan, seen smoke coming from the current fusebox)?

Thanks!
