I bought a decent Cembre hydraulic crimper from Ebay many years ago... I use it for crimps from 10mm2 to 35 mm2

Got a cheapo chinesium hydraulic one on Ebay for about £35, if does 4mm to 70mm, it's a bit crack handed to use but its brilliant

I ended up getting one of these kits as a "reasonable" price for a hex-die crimper covering 6-50mm and a box of lugs:

Though some folk prefer the indent-style of crimp tools as being more tolerant of differences in lug tube thickness.

Nice, I just tend to use the next size die down from the one I need ie 10mm cable and 10mm lug I'd use a 6mm die and they're on there solidly!
