I got a couple Bell Telephone crimpers on ebay for about $10 each. One has two small dies and is very useful for crimping No 3 fishing line leader sleeves to derailleur cables to make Sturmey Archer cables. That's the one I meant to buy. The other I got by mistake; it has a single die and is perfect for crimping a spoke nipple to a brake cable. That's how I make Raleigh double-ended cables. No failures yet!
