"only wish they had a end cap crimper" I have both the Felco and the Park Tool and I don't find the Park's crimper particularly useful. I have found that by taking small bites and rotating around the end cap I can use either tool's cutting edge to make a ring-type crimp. I generally make 2 such crimps on each cap and find that they hold just fine. I still have to file the brake housing end flat after nipping off the pigtail.
