Wrong sort. That's for pre-insulated crimps (although Screwfix
bizarrely describe it as being for co-ax).

What the OP wants is for uninsulated, or "post-crimp insulated"
terminals.

And ones that are smaller than the typical automotive ones. I'm talking crimps that end up about
1.5mm dia.

Make sure you get one with a ratchet, not the simple pressed-sheet sort
like the original picture.

For automotive crimps I'd 100% agree that pressed-sheet tools are useless, but for the small stuff
I'm using I don't need the force of a ratchet, and need to control crimp pressure for different
terminal types so actively don't want one.
