Dangit OB you're going to have my toolbox over flowing. Hah, already picked up an epoxy gun and tips, flush cutters on your recommendation, and now I'll need to pick one of these up in the future.
In the interest of tool box space I went with one of these. One or two good whacks with the 5lb mini sledge made crimping a breeze, if slightly less elegant than the hydraulic crimper.
