rubbish. you need a ratchet crimping tool. price varies from DIY toos under £20 to professional one scosting around £60 -£80. generallyit's a different tool for non insulated.
 
No, the sizes at the top are wire stripping. They are not very good at that either :(

Knipex stuff is very good.

But even the low end ratchet crimps at £12-ish so such a great job compared to the nasty £4 pliers-type they are well worth it. The effort of fixing a single bad joint down the line pays for it alone!
 
These are like Rolls Royce of crimps.
apart from the quality. the jaws are a lot slimmer than most, so you can crimp each end separately without the tool overlapping to the other end.
