Fine tools -- got $200 on you?

Nothing wrong with Paladin, and they're down out of the stratosphere
-- looks like you can get one for around $60 +ship.

Agree -- and the Channellock 908 I mentioned is a nice crimper, by no
means a $2 one.  $15, more like.  It's not a ratchet one but it does
the job very nicely.  I doubt if Channellock ever made a bad tool.
