What type of crimper do I use on the original style spade connectors?  It
looks like a molex plug crimper might work but I'm not sure since I don't
own one.  My Radio Shack Special isn't gonna do this job since it's made for
ring style solderless connectors.  I know someone out there knows.  Would my
local electrical house have one?

    On the replacment spades I ususally strip a short end on the wire and 
then I take my needle nose pliers and bend the retainer ears down then I get my 
crimpers that have the point that crimps the other terminals and I squeeze that 
on the bent ears and it makes for a pretty solid connection. Then wrap the 
stabilizer retainer area around the wire insulation and you are ready to insert 
the connector.
