An IWISS IWS-3220M ratcheting crimp tool for small signal terminals, covering 0.03 to 0.52 mm², which is AWG 32 to 20.
A crimp is a gas tight cold weld, or it is nothing. Done with the right die and the right pressure, the terminal and the conductor deform into one piece of metal with no air between them, and the joint outlives the cable. Done with pliers, it is a mechanical grip that looks identical, passes a tug test, and fails eighteen months later when moisture has found its way into it. Signal circuits are where this matters most, because the currents are too small to reveal a poor joint until it becomes an intermittent fault that takes a day to find.
The ratchet is the feature, not a convenience. It will not release until the crimp has been taken to full compression, so every terminal comes out the same regardless of who squeezed the handles.

This is a small signal tool. It does not crimp high voltage terminals, battery lugs or anything on 4 mm² and above. Those need a hydraulic or heavy ratchet crimper with the correct hex dies.
Check your terminal's data before you crimp a batch. Terminal families that look alike often need different dies, and the only way to be sure is a section through a test crimp.
