Crimp tooling for crimping a crimp barrel of an electrical terminal to a wire, the crimp tooling comprising: an insulation crimper having an insulation crimp profile for crimping an insulation barrel segment of the crimp barrel to insulation of the wire; a wire crimper having a wire crimp profile for crimping a wire barrel segment of the crimp barrel to a conductor of the wire; and a transition crimper between the wire crimper and the insulation crimper, the transition crimper having a blended profile segueing from the wire crimp profile to the insulation crimp profile; characterized in that: the blended profile is arranged to crimp a transition segment of the crimp barrel between the insulation barrel segment and the wire barrel segment; and the insulation crimper includes opposed lead-in sections (154, 156) for forming side walls of the insulation barrel segment and includes crimp radius sections (160, 162) for forming a top of the insulation barrel segment, the lead-in sections being separated by a first width, the crimp radius sections having a first radius of curvature (166, 168), the wire crimper includes opposed lead-in sections (174, 176) for forming side walls of the wire barrel segment and includes crimp radius sections (180, 182) for forming a top of the wire barrel segment, the lead-in sections of the wire crimper being separated by a second width narrower than the first width, the crimp radius sections of the wire crimper having a second radius of curvature (186, 188) less than the first radius of curvature, and the blended profile of the transition crimper transitions between the lead-in sections of the insulation crimper and wire crimper and also transitions between the crimp radius sections of the insulation crimper and wire crimper, wherein the insulation crimp profile, blended profile and wire crimp profile define a continuous crimping profile for the crimp barrel, and wherein the blended profile has a smooth transition to the insulation crimp profile and has a smooth transition to the wire crimp profile. an insulation crimper having an insulation crimp profile for crimping an insulation barrel segment of the crimp barrel to insulation of the wire;
