I just tried this crimper: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zyZKAft7JCg/SpQxyVc5saI/AAAAAAAABJY/jntIVXPL-8M/s752/AuxBatteryWireCrimp.jpg but may be doing it wrong. It holds but I gave myself a C+ on that effort. ;^) I also have this type: http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/359917598/Crimping_Pliers_Wire_Crimping_Pliers_Terminal_Crimping.jpg but please tell me more of this "do all" crimper.
