Search for "ratcheting terminal crimping tool"

Yes on the ratcheting style...

Even a cheap ratcheting one beats the pants off the regular plier-style crimpers.

For general purpose work, any decent one that handles the red, blue and yellow size connectors will suffice for the vast majority of uses.

Forget crimping tools. Those cheap insulated terminals can only be squeezed with flat pliers (and it'll make a lousy connection).

You need to get a collection of uninsulated spade connectors plus loose insulation sleeves (or heat shrink tube). THEN you can use a ratcheting crimp tool and make quality connections.

Give your connector collection to someone you don't like.

You need connectors and a tool like this:

helius:
Every crimp tool series has dies for insulated terminals. For instance, Platinum Tools 17007C. The key is to understand the difference between "PIDG" insulated terminals, as supplied by AMP and T&B, and the generic version, since they require different dies.
