NP . . . .
Here is my complete kit for the Oetikers:
I think I spent about $70 in all and bought enough stuff for half a dozen projects.
The red-handled tool was purchased specifically for the Oetikers from McMaster-Carr.
The blue-handled tool was purchased from Sears as it was needed to cut off the clamps if opening up the loop became necessary {cut across the edge of either "ear" and not on the flat.}
One can get by with using the Channel-Lock front edge cutter {purchased from Sears} for both the crimping and the cutting functions.
The Oetiker crimper is more of a convenience in getting into tight spots.
Cheers,
Joe
