I am interested in getting a set of ratcheting crimpers for everything that i might encounter in a typical homebuilt.. but find the topic very confusing. I know that i want crimpers for at least coaxial, pin connections, and terminals as well as butt splice crimps. I want to stay away from junky radio shack stuff.. but am hopeful that there are some alternatives to paying $300 + per tool. Looking for some good advice on what and where to buy, what to avoid, and if i am forgetting anything. The tools are quite expensive, and i don't want to buy the wrong thing. Any advice will be much appreciated!:)

EDIT: i intended for this post to be a discussion on what is available out there, not a want add... but if anyone out there is interested in selling this kind of stuff feel free to PM me
