Decent crimping tool?

[GETWIRED]

im after a good crimping tool preferably with insulated crimp dies and un-insulated dies up to 10mm2.

Seen these: Kennedy Industrial - RATCHET CRIMPING TOOL C/WINTERCHANGEABLE JAWS 8PC - Cromwell Tools - https://www.cromwell.co.uk/shop/hand-tools/crimping-tools/ratchet-crimping-tool-c-winterchangeable-jaws-8pc/p/KEN5155740K?utm_campaign=pla+-+&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping-pla&utm_keyword=KEN5155740K&istCompanyId=6aa6787b-063e-4414-802d-129f235df603&istItemId=aqrxlqmtl&istBid=tztx

Anyone had them?

It looks very similar to a crimp tool branded Anvil that another electrician created a thread about recently. I was wondering whether they are made by the same company but with different branding on.

Not the crimper specifically but I've come across some Kennedy stuff before and can't say I'm a big fan.

Looks a nice bit of kit for the odd crimp but I prefer separates so I don't have to change the jaws all the time.

I use these an have been for a couple of years not for insulated crimps. A little pricey but have never needed adjusting when they go away for calibration every 6 month. (Spec required by some nuclear facilities)

Are there any particular makes of crimps / ferrules that people recommend?
