pliers??? a little too weak I'd say a Vice Grip.... at least for my ring terminals, they were HUGE.... some thick metal.... I didnt have enough leverage with a standard crimper... so I stepped up... Once it's on there I just soldered over it and made it smooth, shiny and pretty! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I have a spring loaded tool that you put the connector into, then insert the wire into the connector. The tool is kind of like a punch, once you have it lined up, you hit the top of the tool with a hammer. It rolls the connector perfectly every time. Then you solder it. You can get the tool at a professional tool house.
