    Good quality, economical ratcheting crimper?

    I am going to be doing a lot of wiring over the next couple of months, and would like to get a ratcheting crimper to make things a little easier. It will just be for personal use, so I don't really want to spend $500, but I don't want a POS that does crappy crimps either. It will be used exclusively for non-insulated terminals, mostly 14-20 gauge wire but occasionally 12g. I have found these:

    3M TR-490 ($200) :http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...gl527H63V45Bbl


    Greenlee 45505 ($75): http://www.amazon.com/Greenlee-45505.../dp/B001HWB2KC

    I know the 3M is pretty good, but has anyone used the Greenlee? Any other options out there?

    Thanks!
    Cuama up, cracka

    Why ratcheted???? This tool puts a little divot in the connector and will never let go...
