When I started to do the wiring on my 69 Mustang I invested in a nice ratcheting crimper to do the connections & I used a heat gun on the shrink tubing to cover the connections. Here is the crimper I purchased.

The Racket Crimpers work well as long as you don't solder first.
I know there are a lot of Crimping Tools out there, some generic, and some universal, my favorite is the Stake-On Crimper with the Nub on one Die, cutting tip with a deep reach.
Nice Crimper you bought, you will have that for a while.

Woohoo! That's a pricey crimper! Looks to be very well made and heavy duty. My guess is that you are pleased with the tools performance.
If want to do the job right and a second time with the same tools then you buy good tools.
