Recommendations for wire strippers & crimpers?

Hello fellow builders,

Before long I'll begin working on the wiring on my Sonex project. Just thought I'd ask you all about tools: which type and brand of wire stripper, and crimper, have you had the best luck with? Please list your source also if you remember it.

Thanks,
Dave
Sonex N984DM (in progress)

I have the exact same strippers and would highly recommend them. I don't know of a cheaper source. My crimpers look exactly the same as the picture but I got mine from Harbor Freight for less than $15.

I have that HF crimper too and it just wouldn't crimp tight enough so I bought the B&C one. Like most HF tools, its hit or miss on quality.
