These may not be the same as your industrial quality, but they have worked very well for me (when I can't get around my preference for soldered connection):

...not cheap but good, made in Japan. fwiw...

I have a pair of the IWISS IWS-2820M crimps. They're as good as the Engineer PA-09 crimps for half the price...

There's a comparison video between the two of them in the following post...

Very nice Snow! Hard to compete with cheaper, and... it seems the newer Engineer tools are made in Taiwan vs Japan, difference: I dunno.

I think that I already have some crimpers like that, but don't remember where
I got them. That was back when I thought I would be crimping the pins.
THEN, I discovered these kits that come with pre-crimped ends and have
been using those ever since. Yeah, I guess that I am a little lazy sometimes.
