+++10 -- the right crimping tool is a godsend.  There's also a little 
tool that helps remove the contact.

https://powerwerx.com/ is another source that's done well for me.. Lots 
of inexpensive distribution stuff without fancyness (basically big 
clusters of connectors).

They also have watt/current/voltage meters that plug-in inline that 
handle a wide range of voltages (5-60V). however "Only current from 
source to load can be measured. Drawing current in reverse will cause 
damage to the meter."

They also sell the west mountain gear.






  It saves much aggravation.  But if you're using thin wire, soldering 
after crimping is a good precaution.
