I find whether it's going to the big box stores or the local hardware
store it's difficult to find good tools outside of small hand tools.

I went with the brand names I remember using in the USAF. I paid the
going price when I had to, saved money when I could, but generally got
my money's worth. If I could still buy ribbed butt splices I would have
gone with Amp crimpers, as it was I went with DMC since I made a good
deal on e-bay for new.

Now that K-mart sells Craftsman there is an increased number of
locations to get replacements if that's the brand of hand tools one
prefers.
