One generally crimps the spade connectors using a crimping tool. Your connectors and crimping tool need to be of compatible types. Use of smaller wire gauge requires more drops to share the current load. I find 18 gauge is a good balance.

You can see in this post a common style crimping tool:

I personally like the Klein Ratcheting Crimp Tool for the standard vinyl crimp connectors::

The jaws are changeable (sold separately) for other terminal types:
