Worst case there is a guy on Ebay selling the cables for a fixed price plus make offer. Until the Yazaki cables became available I was buying them for a $100 offer. The five I have purchased soldered up fine. One of them was the basis for the photos in the first post.
Also Quick Charge Power sells the Dostar J1772 connector for under $100. I would guess that lacking the proper crimp tool you would have to solder the pins.

My mistake. I was confused about the Quick Charge price. The J1772 handle is $119.
GlennD said:You should be able to find someone with a meltdown. The contact insert is completely separate from the outer shell. You might pm Tony Williams and and what happened to his. I think he was the first one to publicly document the problem. He showed photos of his damaged RAV4 EV and Blink cable.

Properly soldered is clearly better than poorly crimpedTomT said:No one is ever always right, and there are often valid differences of opinion... In this case, I also believe that, done properly, soldering fine.
