An example of a low cost crimper for those terminals. The real professional
types have cam lock action to make sure the crimp is proper. Something like
this will do the job though.

Ok. I see.

I agree. It seems these terminals require a different crimper than I have. I
did find that using the tool one way, then reversing it kind of worked but
the result looks nothing like an OEM crimp.
