wire stripper/crimper

I've always used the el cheapo wire crimper/stripers, and have always wanted a nicer one.

Just curious what do you guys use for crimper/stripers?

I just use cheapies as they work for most of my uses. For heavy guage wire I use this extra special Crimping and Stripping tool. It's called a Hammer and Scissors. lol

I actually prefer the cheap strippers with only one hole to strip on. I don't like the ones with 5+ holes for different size wires. Stripping bigger wire, then don't squeeze as hard :)
