different crimpers, what's the best?

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Ok fellas here's my question, and it maybe a dumb one. I'm going to be terminating some speaker wire (DH Labs Q10) I have two different crimping tools one is the Klein crimper ( red handles) can't remember the model # but it's a pretty standard type crimper, the other is a Snap On crimper that puts a flat crimp on, really made for crimping insulated connectors. It is a ratching type crimper with slightly curved crimping surfaces. The crimp it puts on a conector is flat compared to the Klein, that's the round type crimp. So which is better, is there no differnce? Thanks, all opinions appreciated.
