Crimp Tool
This crimp tool is proven to work for the Molex KK clones listed below, using the 2.0mm crimp head. Will also be tested on the JST connectors when I have a chance - TBSliver (talk)
 * Molex Tool

JST
JST connectors are great for small motor connectors, and wiring boards to other boards. They're 2.54mm standard spacing, specced for 3A per terminal. They are commonly found on RC batteries acting as balance connectors.

Molex KK
Molex's KK series connectors are used for the same thing as JSTs. Fan connectors for PC mainboards use KK series. There is a Multicomp clone of them availabe on farnell for ~10p less per connector.

Power Connectors

 * Nice Barrel Jack - same size as arduino
 * PC Hard disk connector - 6.5A, can plug into a PC PSU to supply +5v and +12v
 * PC ATX Connector - loads of voltages, and control over the PSU
 * PC ATX 12V Connector - good to get loads more 12V juice onto your board - 8A per connector = 16A total
