I have one ... Works good , the case is a bit poo but I have just cable tied mine and it's fine .... On some of the smaller cable >16mm it's too big and need 2 people to operate correctly one to crimp snd one to hold the cable

Had mine for 2 years + as there still going good !

Nice link Bacon. I may buy one of those fine Chinese tools. I hired a similar one from CEF a couple of months back and i think they charged us almost that for a few days use.

I like the bit in the ad, ideal for DIY use
