Crimp Tool

Exactly that one. It comes with a bunch of different sized dies that you can size to your work. Insert a spade with wire inside and then the hydraulic pressure can be used to squeeze the living s__t out of the wire/connector. You basically end up with the spade and wire virtually fused together. I have never had a connection come apart. You could probably also use it on crimp sleeves. However,, I don't use it on ICs, which I solder.
For a more conventional approach, buy a racheting crimp tool.
