I am starting to think these may be the best way to go.

insulated heat shrink connectors along with one good ratcheting insulated connector crimper, for all male, female and butt connectors 22-18, 16-14, 12-10.

vs bouncing from tool to tool, depending on size of connector and style of connector. pic is of an low dollar partially insulated connector, not a fully insulated heat shrink style connector.

also good to know that the bump on the crimper should be on the opposite side of the seam on the connector. but you guys already knew this : )

this also looks like a handy tool to have as well for the heavy guage stuff.
