    I will be doing some rewiring on my Voyager and Volvo in the next year
    or so and want to replace the combination wire-striper/crimper tool
    (pressed flat steel with red plastic handles) with a professional
    crimper. I did a search and noticed a brand called "Paladin" that is
    supposed to be "used by professionals".

    Anyone have any ideas on what to get? Basically I will be replacing
    radio wiring and wiring harness stuff. I want to use good "connectors"
    and ferrules and want to do the job correctly and once - hence the
    search for a professional crimper. The wire striping tools I already
    have, but if anyone has suggestions for one of those
    let me know.

    Thanks in advance.

    Paladin is good, but not as good as the termination tooling available
    from the connector manufacturers.

    Typically, you can't use a Molex termination tool to install a Amp
    connector pin/socket, and vise versa.
