These are what I have, work like a charm and cheap enough without being rubbish quality.
That tool looks very much like a clone of the all-in-one Paladin modular
plug crimpers. Which die form does it use? AMP/Tyco or WE/SS (Western
Electric / Stewart Stamping)?
Paladin makes their all-in-one tools in both varieties...

I'm pretty sure that those Paladin crimpers are made by Weidmuller though
(Paladin's wire ferrule crimpers are).
