It dosnt take much force to get a secure connection. Snug is good. Go overly tight and you can pinch off wires. Using ferrules and end terminals prevent this and also serve to prevent stray wires from shorting to the next terminal.
I dont have one of the spendy crimping tools they sell. They do sell a cheaper one at about $50. I just use my crimper for molex and amp connectors and it seems to work fine.
