As you build more projects you start to find that the standard jumpers available just won't work, they are either too short and won't reach or too long and you have messy-looking wires. With this tool, you can create your own custom cables of any length you want with a variety of terminations that will have your project working well and looking great.
We also have a less expensive, narrower (4 mm) crimper that can also crimp JST connector, JR, Futaba J, and 0.1" housing crimp pins, though this alternate tool can only crimp the full extent of the wire barrel on the JST pins. You can use the following table to help you decide which cavity of which crimping tool you need:

One of Pololu's customers has made a very nice video tutorial that talks about how to make custom cables with pre-crimped wires and with self-crimped wires. The section on using Pololu's crimping tool starts at approximately 4:15 and shows the process in detail. One of Pololu's distributors has also made a short video tutorial that shows how to use this crimping tool.
This useful inspection chart (pdf) by JST shows properties of good and bad crimp connections to look out for when checking your own connections.
