Like the rear license light terminals that are very small. I need those at the moment, but I want to stock up anyway. I've searched, but there are too many threads about wiring that don't reference a source for terminals.

A few years back I finally bought a decent crimping tool, but now I need some terminals. In particular I would like to stock up on uninsulated terminals so I have a selection available when I need them. Walking into a FLAPS and only finding stupid plastic insulated terminals isn't cuttin it anymore.

Jimkelly,

Never saw a crimp like that before in my 13 years in the military electronics and computer industries.

All of the ones I have seen use the "spike" to apply pressure on the other side to fold over the flaps and to leave the bottom flat. All of the the AMP assembly line tools produce a "B"shape with the flaps folded.

Does it work OK?

to me - that with this tool - it seems that mashing the non seemed side may be better???
