In other words, buy these and you don't have to train the monkey.

A lot of government bodies have RS as a specified supplier , and have no choice but to buy from them , as such lots of their stuff is crazy money , and the rake in the profit from those who are not spending their own cash , just moving numbers on a procurement sheet where price is no more meaningful than the items stock number.
Unfortunately for what I do, thats a big no no,You can do 95% of circular multiple with a Daniels af8 tool and universal positioner
They are also calibrated and certifiedAs a few people have said, these are used in aerospace. They are designed so that you can't back out half way through a crimping action, they have a ratchet mechanism in the handle to prevent that.
Blooming pricey all the same!

Luckily for us, it's a big yesUnfortunately for what I do, thats a big no no,
Fortunately I don't have to buy the tools
If only we could stick to a single range, half the time is spent making sure I have the right tool and pin combinationLuckily for us, it's a big yes
To be fair, 99% of the stuff that goes through our Daniels is ITT Canon Trident and souriau utg/uts which both use the same turned pins/sockets.
Have a look at the stuff for mil spec circular connectors.... specific to a range and small range of sizes ...
It's not the same thing .You could ask why folks pay for a calibrated Fluke meter when similar looking *****yjunk is available for a fiver off blagbay. But that is a very stiff price for mechanical ratchet crimpers. The hydraulic ones would naturally be more expensive though.

I bought a Hellerman leccy kit from an mod tool supplier, it came in a job lot and the guy was saying it would have cost the mod a fortune when they were supplying them.

Didn't you kill him?Most people can't operate or read a multimeter correctly, so will never understand the need for a top end one. I've tried many time to explain to people that multimeters don't read voltage, they read difference in voltage hence testing voltage drop, but they don't understand it. Much like having an 87v and an 88v for mains and automotive work respectively, the difference in whether they read true RMS or not.
I replaced a load of starter wiring on machines at work, properly crimped with a big (and expensive) Cembre terminal crimper, but another guy decided to tear some of it out and "crimped" terminals by hammering them flat with a hammer.. some people will never understand the need for the right tool.
My knipex crimpers are like that. If you don't get the terminal in right and it rotates in the die as you crimp you can't go back.
That's a nice set! I looked into their stretch sleeves and tool but usually use glue-lined heatshrink.

I get pretty upset when someone ruins my job .
About multimeters I'd like to get a Fluke 117
I'm actually using a Chinese copy of the 17B which I believe it's not even a real Fluke.
Overall it does work but I don't trust much it I double or triple check to be sure.
