Really ?  Double check that price.

I bought an AMP universal tool with interchangeable jaws for about 
$100 for use with CPC connectors (which I love!, cost 
nothwithstanding), only to discover it came without jaws.

The jaws were about $200.00 more !

The good news is that the CPC pins work GREAT with this crimper and 
I'm really glad I bought it.

I liked it so much that I then did the sucker thing and bought the 
jaws for standard automotive-style crimp connectors (butt, spade, eye, 
etc.) only to discover that

a. it ONLY works with expensive AMP connectors, and
b. it still doesn't work as well as my (good quality) manual 
non-ratcheting crimper.


YMMV
