What you see is a tool for standard crimp connects. Below is the tool I use to crimp ferrules - strictly Volkswagen though Ferrules Direct sells Cadillac versions. Not sure this version is sold anymore but $60-$90 will get you a decent tool.

If you need advice on what ferrule to buy let me know what wire sizes you use and if you will be inserting them into standard crimp connects or only inserting into European strip terminals. I usually deal with the red or blue #6 spade or ring connects.Basically for ferrules you insert into the European terminals just use the ferrule sized for the wire. For small wires - 22 to 28 gauge I crimp them into the appropriate ferrule then crimp that ferrule into a larger ferrule so the terminal screw has something more beefy to lock down onto. This is not really needed but makes me feel good.......... From there you need only worry about barrel length.

I could see my needs for the ferrules for those same terminal strips you show in white. I am using them and they are hard to work with small wires. I would see me interested in the 22-28GA. and maybe the next sizes larger for the same application, those white terminal strips. Although we do not have a Lowes locally I have gotten them from Lowes they call these Barrier Strips 22-10 GA by Utilitech. Jeff
