I hope you crimped it good. There are pliers that are made for crimping connectors. They have different places to crimp different gage wire and insulated or non insulated connectors.
There is also a proper way to orientate the pliers to the seam inside the connectors. Do a youtube search on crimping, you may need to use the 'stake-on' name.
Crimp and then use a heat gun on the heat shrink tube. The heat shrink tube is probably not needed on your tumbler. Unless you always have water getting on the connection. I will use heat shrink on a boat electrical system or on an auto or truck, someplace I am expecting to get wet. Other places seem to be a waste of resources.
Sorry, I have not been active here, a new adventure in life at a new location all brought without internet or reliable cell service. I did manage to get tumbling again, though

All is good now, saw is running. I used one of those crimp heat shrink tube thingies. I don't know what you call it. I didn't have a crimper so I squeezed it real good & found a little vise that I could put the crimp part of it in & screwed down the vise real good & made sure it was tight. Didn't have a heat gun but I did have a little butane torch to get the shrink part hot enough to shrink it. All was good & tight, got the cover on finally & saw is now running.

Congratulations. Some folks have been known to crimp the connector so hard that they cut it in two and had an even shorter wire to connect. Imagine anyone admitting that.
