Hey guys,
I bought some of these crimps (see attached) which I'm putting into these housings.

These housings were recommended by Digikey to work with the crimps I bought and for the most part they do. My trouble is the bits of metal between the crimps. It seems they're designed to be separated at the circle between them. However that leaves a really big bit of metal on my crimp. Which obviously doesn't fit into my housing. So what do I do? I have a handy pair of D-sub crimpers which are a gift from the divines as far as I'm concerned. And I've tried to bend the tabs up with those but that just ruins the crimp. I can cut the tabs off with a pair of flush cuts, but I can tell that's gonna dull them quick and its really tedious.
