   Crimping technique?

   Is a crimping tool supposed to work on these things?

   All of my attempts so far have splayed three of the four squashable sections   
   outwards instead of squeezing them inwards. (The exception is the bit that’s   
   already   
   folded.)   
      
   Using thin nosed pliers I can make a reasonable connection. Although even with   
   that   
   method it’s sometimes difficult to get the triangular bits securely around the   
   plastic wire outer (or ideally digging into it).   
      
   I suspect I’m using this rather expensive tool wrongly, so any practical advice   
   would be welcomed please.
