I have a lot of ferrules to crimp:

Are there specialized tools? I don't get any usable hits on Google. If not,
what are the best pliers to use?

I'd rather not spend $50+ on a specialized tool, but < $50 at an easy place
like Sears I would do. I do have a decent collection of shop/home pliers
though. Vice-grips come to mind as having a nice leverage ratio.


I've had good success using a set of small bolt cutters with the jaws ground
'flat'.  Easy to use (grind the jaws so that fully closed is correctly
crimped) and cheap: you can use some $10 cutters from HF.

Mark.
