If you are looking to crimp WBT crimp sleeves, I highly recommend the Philmore 63-601 crimp tool, available from Handmade Electronics for only $9.99. I have both this Philmore tool and the genuine $140 gold plated WBT crimp tool. I bought the Philmore tool mostly out of curiosity, to see if it lived up to its claim of working with WBT sleeves. On various combinations of wire sizes and WBT sleeves, crimps seemed about 95% as solidly made as with the genuine WBT tool, though not as clean looking. The Philmore tool also did a better job than a Klein crimp tool which I also own.
