you can still do it badly, without much extra effort.  But this tool is
far superior to the simple pliers type found in cheesy crimp connector
sets.  Still produces a flattened "C" rather than a "B" type crimp,
though.  Works best with the insulated terminals that have a "tube" with
little ridges inside it for the wire.

It's exactly like the one I (probably) got from MCM Electronics for
about $20 or so.
