Aye should only use proper ratchet crimping tool to ensure correct pressure applied and both the conductor and insulation are crimpedIt's what looks to have been used from the image.
The other side of this is that I often have to squeeze insulated crimps with pliers or grips as most of those sold by wholesalers are cheap carp. You can squeeze all day at cheap crimps with the best of tools and never get a solid connection.

Some crimps are suitable for solid conductors, some are not.The red blue yellow dot ratchet crimper I have always been told is for stranded wires like flex and auto wire connections only and never to used to solid conductors.
you need to use a special crimp tool with teeth and the correct crimps to joint solid wires

Can we keep this on track discussing crimps has been done to death.
