Bill,
OK, I'll weight in.
That HF crimper works quite well. No special associated terminal is needed. Just make sure the terminal properly fits the wire size. And ignore the sizes marked on the tool, they lie. Just pick a set of jaws that fit the wire and lug in use.
FWIW, I used Perihelion CCA lightweight Fat Wire and the associated Perihelion connection lugs. Works great, less weight.

Yeah, I've seen that TT-500 (or maybe the previous version of it) at SteinAir maybe.
As for HF, leave it the them to produce a hydraulic crimper south of $1000, way south [Shocked] . LOL.
Am I wrong to expect that an airworthy crimp tool should have a strict association with a line of terminals [Rolling Eyes] . As with Amp/Tyco Crimpers & AMP PIDG terminals.
Neither of these two tools (TT-500 & HF) advertise a matched brand of terminals, or do they?
Or an I'm brain washed by the Mil Specs and Standards Groups? 
Between the two, I lean toward the TT-500, but with a local HF just 1 mile from me, now I have to go see what $60 in HF $ looks/feels like.
Maybe others can weigh in.
