Biggest issue with this is all the garbage that comes from China.  Crimping a terminal bought at the flea market or swapmeet  crumbles in the tool. Buying name brands like Belden, Ancor and other quality stuff is half the battle. Also having a good crimping tool and knowing how to use it.

I don't think people realize this( above), -- that even for your standard spade family there are double layer terminals with a secondary metal sleeve in the crimp area.
