Default How to use crimping tool

I usually crimp the seam-side. The theory being the edges of the metal
bite into the wire.
The best crimper IMHO is the Calterm 1250. Did a google, but couldn't
find a link.

Guys,

when you use crimping tools does it matter which side of connector goes
under tooth of crimping tool? The part where two ends of connectors
"neck" tube meet or other side?

BTW I have a stripping/crimping tool like this one:
