I bought a kit of something like those early on, as I was just getting started on the Sheldon, and a crimper, supposedly to match. But the crimper while looking quite heavy duty, wouldn't put enough bite on to make them stay on a stranded wire regardless of how I adjusted its closing cams. I'll have to drag it out and check again. I'd forgotten about it. Got the dishwasher started, so now I have a couple hours to go putz with this. Thanks Andy.
