You can use the insert, however the B&C tool is adjustable. The mini's for the garmin in addition to being less of a diameter are shorter. There is an adjustment for this on the tool. However, before you make a crimp make sure that the adjustment has not slipped. When shipped it the adjustment is defeated but is easily changed..

Either will accept a different tooling insert ($10) that will allow
crimping the sub miniature pins used on some of the Garmin 430, etc
connectors.

If you have the skillset, it's a lot cheaper to just use the solder cup
style connectors, but it is a *lot* more time consuming.
