Can someone please recommend a crimping tool that's good enough to crimp at least 10mm cable terminals maybe even a bit bigger. Doesn't have to be top of the range or rated for everyday use but decent enough to produce good solid reliable crimps for occasional projects.

Thanks.

These are cheap and cheerful https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/heavy-duty-spring-l...

These are super duper and I've used this type often, they never fail https://www.altecautomotive.co.uk/battery--starter...

Shop around for the super duper ones as you will very likely find cheaper

The first one looks good and is very reasonably priced. Watched a yt vid of it in action and it seemed to produce a good crimp. Thanks for the suggestions.

Only a few quid more than the "hammer it" one linked to above, good enough for occaisional hobby use..... Hydraulic crimp tool.

There are some really cheap ones around, like the hammer one but you quash them in a vice. Can't find a link at the moment
