Do I want my sensors "Crimped to pigtails"?

What is the benefit of that?

You wouldn't have to crimp the pins yourself (requires a special crimper).

You can just solder to the pigtail... and your done. Crimping the pins yourself isn't hard, you'll just have to go out and buy the tool if you don't already have one.

You can crimp them without a tool, its just a pain. Might as well just get them crimped though.

Whew. I placed the order before I got a response to this because I knew they'd sell out quick. I went ahead and spent the extra $1 each for the crimping, and it looks like that was a smart move. Thanks!

Yeah I bought them uncrimped to save money (shows how cheap I am haha) and all I did was carefully crimp them with a needle nose pliers, nothing to it.
