Default Special crimper?

I'm a tuner and I want to buildy own harnesses. I bought a metripack crimper for pins and stuff but I can't figure out what tool one would use to crimp the middle terminal of a multiple terminal fuse block. Like this:

I will get a you a picture of the crimper in the morning. We do a lot of custom wiring stuff at work with OEM connectors/terminals.

This is what you need for those. I picked one up similar from my local Snap On truck. They usually have these in stock.

I have a similar one for the GM connectors. I just don't get how you crimp the middle terminal without messing up the other terminals. I suppose you just bend them out of the way and then bend them back after you make your crimp.

I forgot to take a picture but this is what I use a majority of the time.

Greg Banish has a crimper that he really likes but I can't find it listed on his Facebook page anymore.
