SPECIFICATIONS: The ARES Professional Ratcheting Wire Terminal Crimper works with 10-22 gauge wire and has color-coded sizing for easy use. The adjustable tension and ergonomic handles reduce fatigue and stress on your hands.DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: This crimper's ratcheting action requires only a fraction of the strength and effort it takes to use a non-ratcheting crimper as it captures and restrains the sides of the terminal and crimps the top and bottom. This design ensures crimps consistently make a cold weld between the wire and barrel of the connector, essentially eliminating damaged and distorted terminals.MANUAL INCLUDED: A PDF manual with crimping tips will be emailed to you when the crimper is delivered, so you can be sure you're getting the best possible use out of it!RELIABLE | EFFECTIVE | EFFICIENT: Users trust ARES to be Quality Tools.

Looking at your terminals... you need to get the proper crimp tool. It looks like you have a flat sheetmetal 'combo' tool. You want one like this that has large flat dies in it. Even this tiny change can really improve the quality of your wiring job.
Your ride is coming along so nice, but those connectors, if not used with the correct crimp tool, will come back to haunt you with nigh untraceable electrical issues. To be honest, the only push on terminals I use are PIDG Faston type from AMP/Tycho. You can get them from Mouser. If you can get the AMP tool (its like 290 bucks...) it's worth it. Though, these days, I do my best to build my harnesses with only Metripack and Weatherpack connectors and BUSSMANN RTMF-DC series fuse and relay blocks. It really brings you to a whole new level of electrical for a fairly reasonable price (About 30 bucks for a 10 fuse, 5 relay pack, and they take metripack terminals and wire seals.
