HRO now stocks a kit that has a crimping tool for Anderson connectors. I think it has a number of different sizes. The kit also has a coax cutter and a the crimp tool has dies for coax too.
The kit was around $120.00 all in a nice plastic box. The WMR crimp tool I have does 45A connectors. I have never tried to crimp them.

Is there that much of a difference between it and the WMR tool? It appears that the Anderson dies may be of better quality and the leverage may be optimized for the 45A connector, where the WMR tool might be a compromise in order to facilitate three crimp sizes. At roughly USD $200 for the Anderson tool, that's quite expensive for just one APP size. Is it possible to simply swap dies between the 45A and 15/30A sizes and save on the expense of owning two ratcheting tools?
