Search for "ratcheting terminal crimping tool"

drussell:
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.

Benta:
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.
