I have one each of these, which gets me through most of the work I do.

I try to use waterproof solder seals any time I can now. These have been a wiring game changer:

Paired with these Irwin self adjusting strippers:

Bought the same accel crimper as tirewater from a guy who was building a chopper. He was finished and listed them on craigslist for 1/2 price. Will sell them when I'm done. They've been great for regular crimping and weather pak.

YESSS... I *love* solder sleeves. I use loads of them in my day job. Huge timesaver, and the ones in that Amazon link are a great price. Buying some now...

I generally use the tooth in common slip-joint pliers to crimp spark plug terminals back onto their wires.
