Need the Dynamo hive mind, I'm two connections away from being able to ride all weather commuter. Trying to connect rear light to front light. Rear light cable has bare wires and seperate spade connectors (my terminology could be incorrect, see photos below for what I'm trying to connect) and I've brought this crimping tool to close connector around bare wire. Have I purchased the correct tool for the job? Or do I require something else? Answers welcome..

I didn't use any connectors on mine. I just twisted the bare pairs together, shrink wrapped them and added a bit of electrical tape for paranoia.

I'm shit at mechanics, and I've got the connectors so thought I may as well try and do a decent job as I'm not looking to be fucking around with it again. Did get some rubber tubing which I'm going to cut down and see if I can make the connector a bit more water resistant..
