    If you are based in Dublin, you could always try the likes of Maplins, McQuillans or Lenehans. All a few minutes walk from each other.

    Try your local motor factors or engineering suppliers. They often have a wide selection of tools.

    They aren't ratchet crimpers and they are only good for the bin crimps that have the insulated collars.
    If you ever use brass uninsulated crimps you need to have a crimper that can make the same crimp force every time.
    Those ones don't do that.
    The last thing you want on a bike is a crimp failing and leaving you at the side of the road.
