I agree with other posters, they are probably a bit thinner than the pictures. That being said they are still good reliable connectors and will certainly work in my application. I inserted them into my 6" vise at a 45 degree angle to crimp them. I have to say, while it wasn't hard, I put all my strength into it and they didn't shrink as much as I'd like. I imagine they will be difficult to crimp without the right tools. The crimp is solid and the heat shrink adhesive is well made.
