How do you crimp closed end crimp connectors?

Using closed end crimp connectors for the first time. By googling, seems like you you can crimp them however you want. I also could find no specific tool for sale. Basically using these on low voltage line (12 volts 2 amps tops).

I kind of expect a crimp tool for any job, and google makes it seems like its the Wild West and however you feel like.

I do not think that device takes much of a specialized tool other than a typical crimping tool. Here is one of probably thousands of devices available.

If you search just for crimpers you will get a surprising array of feminine hair crimping supplies. Be sure and include wire in you search string.

I don't have one but I have probably half a dozen different tools that would do the job adequately. For 120 volt AC i prefer wire nuts and for bare ground wire there is a simple ferrule that works.

I'd call that low power automotive stuff. Not UL for household wiring

Thanks. I have a crumpet similar to that already. I’m probably reading too much into this, but that crimped and the ne I have are designed for the blue, red, and yellow automotive insulated crimp connectors, and these closed end connectors are white. This is probably what I’ll use.

I can’t seem to multi quote for some reason. Mike90250 this is for a low volatage circuit on my RV. These are the types of connectors used throughout the RV on the low voltage lines. I’m simply adding one more line.
