It's important to make sure the crimp die is made for the size of the crimp you're using. I have one I got on Ebay brand new for about $200 that came with 8 sets of dies that cover the vast majority of crimps. For the really big stuff (AWG 1/0, 2/0, etc), I use a hydraulic crimper, also from Ebay about $50 new and it also comes with several dies that cover a wide range of large crimp sizes.

Gough. That crimper will do a fair job on most crimps. But if you mess will DB-25s etc, you need a much better tool I have an amp tool 90268-1 for less than 70 dollars on eBay or a DMC $$$
