High Charging Rate. Found Voltage Drop Need Guidance Please
I think for that particular crimp I used American Wire's copy of the old Packard crimpers. Took two tries - a strand ended up outside the crimp on the first go 'round. Oops. Not cheap, but decided it was worth having them. Double and Single Crimper - Splice Clip - Tools - American Autowire We Make Wiring THAT Easy!
Most of the time I've been using Astro's ratchet crimper with interchangable jaws. I really like it. It crimps the insulation and wire at the same time.
But as JoeSBP found with a different version, the jaws are little too wide for male terminals.

I'm sure there are other crimpers just as good, and it sounds like the interchangeable jaws may be redundant to what you already own.
I hear ya. I'm often juggling stuff.
