    Try not to make the wires 'perfect' length, you'll be amazed how helpful an extra inch or two can be.

    I've not found a crimper better than a Lobster brand, but any quality ratcheting crimper will do. (Although I prefer to remove the ratchet mechanism)

    I've used a Klein/Ideal style since my days at McDonnell Douglas in the 60's and for the price I don't think they can be beat.

    Yep, once you find a GOOD tool, nothing else will compare, and you'll accept no substitutes.
