Crimp tooling for crimping a terminal to a wire, the crimp tooling comprising: an anvil having a base and a tip with a cradle at the tip for supporting the terminal, the anvil having first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172) located relative to the cradle; and a wire crimper having first and second legs (144, 146) on opposite sides of a crimp slot, the crimp slot receiving the cradle, the wire crimper defining a crimp profile in the crimp slot configured to form the terminal during crimping, the first and second legs having first and second wire crimper guide surfaces (154, 156), respectively, the first and second wire crimper guide surfaces configured to engage the first and second anvil guide surfaces, respectively, to guide a position of the wire crimper relative to the anvil, wherein the first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172) face each other across a gap for receiving the wire crimper, wherein the anvil includes a front block and a rear block discrete from the front block, the front block being coupled to the rear block, the cradle being provided on the front block and wherein the first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172) are surfaces of the rear block, and wherein at least one of i. the first and second wire crimper guide surfaces (154, 156) have lead-in areas positioned below the first and second wire crimper guide surfaces (154, 156); a width of the wire crimper at the lead-in areas being less than the width of the wire crimper along the first and second wire crimper guide surfaces (154, 156); or ii. the first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172) have lead-in areas positioned above the first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172), a width of the gap at the lead-in areas being greater than the width of the gap along the first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172), wherein the lead-in areas (158, 176) are configured to prevent stubbing of the wire crimper as the wire crimper is advanced into the gap between the anvil guide surfaces (170, 172), wherein the front block includes outer surfaces between the cradle and a base of the front block, wherein the outer surfaces are spaced from the first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172) with the wire crimper configured to be received in the spaces, and wherein the spaces have open bottoms to allow any debris in the spaces to be ejected from the front and rear blocks in a direction downwardly through the open bottoms when the wire crimper is forced downwards. an anvil having a base and a tip with a cradle at the tip for supporting the terminal, the anvil having first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172) located relative to the cradle;
