If you were right then it would be easy to admit, but you are not right.
A good quality crimper is not a rip off, it is an investment for any tradesman who will be using it for many many years.

That's the logic of manufacturer, because they know you think about it that way and they put ridicolous price for it, I guarantee that real cost of such pliers is not more then 10 euros.

It's more worth for the price you paid then you would pay for Ferrari.

You are out of your mind
What is that set?
Would you advise that car dealerships buy £10 diagnostic scanners from ebay, rather than use thousands of pounds worth of manufacturer's equipment?
Should those car dealerships provide cheap jacks and axle stands for their mechanics, rather than expensive ramps?
Would you advise a chef to ditch their expensive knives, because they could buy knives from a pound shop?
With respect, there are tools and there are tools. I'm not an electrician, so wont tell electricians what tools they should or should not use, but any one who uses a tool regularly will know what is up to a particular job and what is not.
I have a variety of tools. Some were cheap and some were not. Some of those cheap tools are junk and some are reasonably decent. If I need a tool for a one off job, I may well go for the cheapest option that is fit for the purpose for which I need it. If I'm buying a tool that's going to be used regularly, chances are I'll buy something that will do the job and also last a significant period of time.
In your shoes, I wouldn't try arguing against years of combined knowledge about a task you've never completed successfully. Maybe when you've managed several thousand secure crimps, using a €5 tool, you might be in a better position to denounce more expensive options. Until then, I'm inclined to agree with those voices of experience.
Looks to me that ELECMOX is prolonging this thread just as a ploy to continue this thread. maybe get a life ELECMOX.
he's in trainng at the local Troll school.
He has a C&G in trolling Mate, a wonder a Mod aint pulled him up
No, I think he just sees it from a very limited perspective and can't see how others see it.
I am pretty sure some acceptable ratchet crimps would be available locally if they looked around, after all in the UK (which is not a cheap country by any standard) you can get them in major DIY places for under 20 Euro, not the 50 Euro mentioned.
I have bought tools and test equipment from £10 to £15,000 that others would see as pointless, but they let me do specialised work that ended up bringing in far more revenue so to me they were worth it.
