The best all around cutter is the Felco. A Dremel doesn't do a clean job on braided housing with liners; the braiding frays, making it hard to fit a ferrule, and the liner melts causing a restriction. The liner issue can be minimized by inserting wire before cutting, but the cut is not as clean as the Felco's. I've encountered some wires that unravel when touched with the cut-off wheel. As far as a crimper feature, it is not that much more trouble to pick up pliers to apply the crimp. BTW, 10-22 gauge electrical wire pliers have crimping capability.
