I post this about once every two months:

I use the Thomas and Betts version of that same crimper at work. I really, really like them:

I also have a set of much better ratcheting crimpers with replaceable dies that I use if I've got my whole crash cart full of tools:

Between the two, I'd rather go with the one above. It strips, it's smaller and lighter (a big plus when your Kennedy tool box weighs 35 lbs empty) and doesn't require die changes. The second one is marginally better, but I'm not working on the Space Shuttle where that kind of precision is necessary.
