Can anyone recommend a sturdy Crimping Tool? I purchased a cheap set from Amazon and it only successfully crimped one cord before it rendered itself useless and started slipping / not crimping all pins. I like the idea of the packaged deals because I need a cable tester as well, but I'm weary of them because there is a lot of crap floating around out there. Anyone have personal experience with a good one that I can order or can you recommend a proven brand?

This is the one I had to return:
