Required tool for working on wiring loom

After using the outsource for the wiring for a while, I decide to get it done by myself. I have some questions below;

1. What tools do I need to work on the wiring for the DTM connectors?
2. What tools do I need to work on the wiring for Autosport (M880/ADL/SDL) connectors?
3. What tools do I need to work on the wiring for M4/48/400/600/800 connectors?

I have seen some recommendation from the ECU manuals for the require plier/crimpping tools for the but still confused which ones to buy as there seems to be many tools in the catalogue and the value for money for the tools (I'm a tuner who work mostly on mechanical and tuning but work on the wiring from sometimes not a full-time electrician so I don't want to over-spend on these).

Thank you.

A crimper works for 1&2 (And I suspect all three).
You will also need a wire cutter (dykes).
A heatshrink station of some sort is useful too. A smoker can use a lighter, but that never works as well.
