Good Afternoon Techno's!

I'm looking to try and find out if there's anything out there that be used to insert some AMP Miniature Spring Sockets besides what they want to sell to do it. If you go to:

http://tooling.tycoelectronics.com/pdf-cm/5564.pdf

there you'll find the manual for it which shows what the tool looks like, and there's also some illustrations and dimensions of the little sockets.

When I called Tyco to find out what these things cost, I swear my jaw hit the floor! $11,000!!!

Even the guy on the phone at Tyco said; "Oh WOW!" when the price came up on his computer. I knew something bad was coming when he said; "Oh WOW!", but I didn't think it was $11,000 worth!!!

So, I'm asking if anybody else has worked with these sockets and figured out a cheaper way to install them in the board.

Thanks a bunch!
