Mine cost about $60, import brand. David, I have seen these and I wonder.... there seems to be some variation in connectors from brand to brand... and of course European vs American wire sizes... so I was wondering if these expensive crimpers can handle this kind of variation.... also the ones I saw had different 'bits' for insulated, uninsulated, wire/connector size ranges... all of which would drive the price up well over $100... may be worth it if it indeed does make a perfect crimp every time... but I suspect with all the variables that this would not be the case... perhaps having 'the feel' of experience is better?
