I don't think this or any other standard hex crimper will work with 
snap-n-seal connectors because it crimps in the wrong direction. I am 
not even talking about exact fit or minor details like that :-). Just 
the fact that the standard hex crimper pushes perpendicularly from the 
sides inward whereas the snap-n-seal connectors require pushing two 
pieces together along the axis of the cable.

Hope that's not too confusing because of my bad english...
