very heavy quality and you can first insert the crimp plugs (it will lock the plug, you can put the tool down) and then insert the cable and press - with increased power as the handle is angled...

Grmbl, i forgot to look at reichelt. So i bought the same one on ebay for about twice that. Well at least it's a pretty decent one.

I always take my pipe wrench (rohrzange), a small one with flat gripping surfaces (backen), not the heavy duty curvy one. It's adjustable in grip width, so it's actually pretty parallel when squeezing the IDC connector. Works surprisingly well..
