You can use a cheaper crimp tool that is adequate.

With the power poles is it necessary to buy that crimp tool for them? The connectors are reasonable but the crimp tool seams pricey for a few times of use.

Iota power supply to run two TP chargers or flip it over to be run from 
a 12 volt battery at the field. Much better that alligator clips 
attached to metal bars coming out from the Iota. I did that initially 
as well.

The 6 or 8 gauge ground stcok will screw into the iota connector port and viola- you have a "permanently attached) set of ground 12 volt source connectors.
