It's difficult to see from the pictures but my guess would be no. The tool looks to be more like the Molex type which has more of a 'U' profile when looking at the wire entry end and the folding wings have a rectangular profile when viewed from above. From experience, if you don't use the correct tool, the crimp will not hold.

After a bit of mucking around I found a way to crimp these fairly reliably with small pliers and screw driver.
The trick is to leave them attacked to the strip while you do it - I had been removing them which makes it really difficult.
I dab of solder makes sure the wire never separates.
