We're not always so lucky so the missing dimension is how forgiving each crimptool is in the hands of lesser artisans.
A ratcheting crimper is the most forgiving for untrained people. Once it has been set properly it won't release automatically until the crimp has been successfully completed. Using uninsulated terminals also helps dramatically improve the success rate as they are easier to visually verify proper orientation before crimping and that the crimp was properly completed.
