American Autowire alternatives?
Plan on getting the AA kit for my '70 C25 but was looking at the price of the crimping tools. Anyone have any alternatives? Just seems absurdly overpriced when brands like Klein have tools for 1/4 of the price. Or if anyone is selling a used set at a discount?

A pair of open barrel crimpers can be had on Amazon for $20 + or -. They will work fine.

Any brand of ratcheting crimpers is fine.
