A die set can be provided for use in a crimping tool to crimp a connector onto a conductor. A first die of the die set can include a mating surface and a working surface. The mating surface can selectively mate with the crimping tool. The working surface can include an indenting member that projects away from the mating surface to form an indentation in the connector when the connector is crimped to the conductor by the crimping tool. The indenting member can include a plurality of non-planar faces, each of the plurality of non-planar faces including a concave portion.
