What are for then ?

I need to crimp car speaker wires.

Can I use one of these:

Many years ago I bought a crimping kit from Halfords, that looked just like that, along with a selection of crimp connectors. It was rubbish, the connectors deformed while crimping and the connections easily pulled apart. Waste of money. Didnt cut well, the jaws should have been as close to the pivot as possible, but are not. Didn’t do anything well. It did come in a nice plastic box tho’.
 
Can I use this crimping tool for spade insulated and non-insulated terminals?
the whole point with crimping tools is that they should give quick, reliable, neat connections. This design does none of thes. A much easier way is to strip the wires, twist together, insulate with tape. Likely to give a much better job than a cheap crimper
