How timely. I've been in need of one, just been using the teeth on my wire strippers. Not the best, but it works.

Just ordered the IWISS crimper mentioned above. The fact that it has its own case is very exciting.

Yes my old Klein 1001 can handle that range of fittings fairly well without having to change any dies and I can do it quickly while laying on the driver's floor with my hands reaching up under the dash. I do have another somewhat similar tool, probably also a Klien that can work in very tight places, but it gets a lot less use than the 1001.

A fancier tool is great if one is building a harness from scratch, but overkill if someone is just putting a new end on a ground wire.
