MaineSail's articles have great suggestions

I've followed his suggestions with an Anchor crimper for regular wire (AWG10-18), a FTZ crimper for battery cable along with the specific terminals he suggests, and also use the tools he recommends for electronic wire (AWG 20+).

Here is the article for terminating regular wire, and you can search his site for articles on battery and electronic wire crimping. I've had excellent results following his suggestions. MaineSail's website is a tremendous resource.
