The 'standard' red blue and yellow pre-insulated types make no mention of

Crimps are relatively non-fussy about stranded vs. colid core cable. For
most combinations the same crimp terminal can be used, although the
ideal crimping force is slightly different.

If you're using pre-insulated crimps (ghastly things that they are) then
the vagaries of trying to deliver a controlled force through a squashy
plastic sleeve give rise to far more variation than solid/stranded
cable.

Yup - never use them these days on cars. I bought the proper crimping tool
for Lucar connectors from Vehicle Wiring Products, so now use crimp
connectors exactly the same as the makers ones.
