The prices are fairly average, sometimes you can find them for $10-20
less for the tools, though I've yet to find the AMP dies for less than
$35-40 retail. I still need to buy a long body plug die for my AMP tools
as I have a couple boxes of AMP long body plugs that I found surplus
last year that I can't yet put to use.
That's actually not that bad. My brother paid $350 for my Ideal
Crimpmaster set. He got me *all* of the available dies. It was a
*really* nice gift. I've saved a small fortune on BNC-terminated A/V
cables alone.
