Jimminy. I can’t imagine a situation that both a. requires that much ferrule crimping and b. can’t be automated. Like, maybe they’d be worth it if I spent 8 hours a day crimping wires, but at that point I’d be better off getting some sort of machine to do it.
I used to work with maritime electronics, both installation and maintenance, and I went through A LOT of ferrules. And now that I am building my personal tool collection I’ve come to appreciate the wurth quality.
I can’t speak for the crimpers, but a colleague gave me a small electronics screwdriver set made by würth, and they are really really nice. Grippy without stripping, feels good in the hand. They really do make tools that are a pleasure to use.
I wish you Godspeed. We’ve got a crappy one of those at work and it’s the bane of my existence. Yours seems nicer though.
You’re looking at about 400 USD of tool here. Snap on ain’t got shot on these swedes.

Maybe I’m just poor.
