[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 498077, member: 432"] The pliers I use to crimp connectors and terminals have a round side on one jaw and a nib on the other jaw. When I crimp, I make sure the seam in the connector is on the round side of the tool even if it is an insulated connector. That way the nib will not crush one half of the connector down leaving the other half loose on the wire making it a bad connection. I like to pull on the wires to make sure it is secure after doing so. [/QUOTE]
