  After using the non-ratcheted "crimper" I felt the same way.  I
  finally went to the ratchet crimper marketed by West Mountain
  and have never had a failure.  Miscrimps, yes, because with my
  limited close-up eyesight it's not that easy to make sure that
  the pin is in the slot properly (I work by feel).

  As we've all said - the proper tool.  May I add - the proper
  procedure as well.
