I think mine were about £6 years ago, I dont like that £161 price....
Strangely I came across these whilst browsing on Temu ( I know!!) £4.98
I purchased a german ratchet tool. Off hand I can't remember which one.
When I say German, the brand, is German, made in China though. I spent quite a bit of time searching, and eventually got it for about £20. From memory, the tool is still in the box. In the event that I am sober when I get home, I will photograph it. Other sites were charging more than than double what I paid for it.

Possibly not easy to see on some auction pics but the cheapo terminal crimper that I bought from eBay to terminate my bicycle dynamo cabling also has the same correct profile and does a good job (JX-1601 as labelled), probably don't need an RS one for a small job.

Some of the crimpers being shown are for crimps that plug onto something in general, that is the wire is not crimped along the entirety of the crimp which then gets put into a terminal (of which a cord end crimp/bootlace ferrule does).
There are a multitude of different types of wire end crimped connection needing a multitude of differing crimpers.
You just have to get the right ones for the types of crimps you use, using the wrong ones generally ends up with a crappy crimp that can fail.

This is the german one that I purchased.
It successfully crimps the fitting on both the bare cable and the insulated cable . From memory I managed to get it for about £20- most other sites were charging +£30 for the same one and the same manufacturer sells other clamps with interchangeable jaws.
Edit--- Currently available at Amazon for £17.80

That one is suitable for the crimps where you crimp the insulation too such as ring crimps, forked crimps etc.
I generally find that the interchangeable jaws are very expensive and might cost you more than simply buying a new pair.
