Juan,

Two wires in a pin designed for a single wire pin such as the crimp that
uses the 4 indents, e.g. Daniels AF-8, is not a way to go. Whenever I see
this situation in designs I ask for a splice upstream so that I can crimp a
single wire into a contact. Crimp splices are acceptable as well as the use
of solder sleeves.

I ask for this because of the scenario that you presented. It is difficult
to get a accurate pull test reading. It is also difficult to determine the
proper tool setting.

Good luck.
