They have no memory. Once put on they lose their tension, if pulled off again and reinstalled they will be loose.
5Should insulated terminal clips be used in higher temp. applications?
No
6What is the main difference between crimping tools used to crimp insulated terminals vs. non-insulated terminals?
Non insulated crimps have sharper teeth to bite into the barrel or the terminal

Just enough to fill the barrel of the terminal completely
8How many crimps should be made in each terminal?
