I just bought these to redo my internal speaker wire.

Does anyone know what type of crimpers I need to properly install these?
Follow Ups:
Not a fan of this type of terminal. F type crimp is better or solder. I sell terminals for a living.
I've used the same J&B crimping tool since 1976.
If THAT isn't an endorsement, I don't know what is?

Go to your local hardware supplier and purchase a stripper/crimper like one of these:http://www.lowes.com/pd_464633-16878-55761_1z140vv__?productId=50069715&pl=1&Ntt=wire+crimpers
That is the tool that I use for my DIY loudspeaker efforts.
Sears has a Craftsman tool about the same functionality and cost and I'm sure that other tools are out there as well.

Uninsulated closed-barrel terminals sized for 22--16 gauge wire. There's a thousand different crimpers that will work acceptably.There's probably twenty different ones you could actually be proud to own.
I just bought SK Tools # 15011. Two sizes of crimp, plus a cutter. Made in USA. Crunch-down with that, you'll have one very secure crimp. I suggest HarryEpstein.com for both service and price.

Put one or two of them in your pocket, go down to your local hardware
store, which should have what you need. If not, Home Depot or Lowe's
will. Failing that, go to an electrical supply house. Or got to a
Harbor Freight store and buy a pair of very cheap, crappy Chinese
crimpers.

Expensive and for the cost only something you want if intend to use it often. Crimp connectors need to be crimped extremely tight and these will do the job.
If you want something cheaper but still better than average:

Freak out...Far out...In out....
Economical crimper & cutter in one.

Thank you. Helpful. Perfect tool, but 2 problems. 4-6 weeks away and seller has horrible feedback. Tried searching for similar in the US, but the closest I could find had no stripper and was not thick like this tool.
They have these on amazon but doesn't look like they ship any quicker, are way more expensive. Might even be same seller.
You're right they look well made. Hopefully the other suggestions posted will work for you.
Cheers! Jonesy

Thanks for all of the great links. I have a much better idea of what I am looking for now.
