Time for a new crimper... What's everyones choice for the best hand model (non-bench mount) swager (cup to cup style for double barrel sleeves)?

Most of what I make is on the smaller side (i.e. 100lb - 150lb fluoro). I'm considering three different ones currently but I would like everyones suggestions.

Under consideration:

Jinkai SC-2C
AFW HT‑250‑4‑PRO
Braid 32912 HD Power Crimper

Thanks in advance...

I have the jinkai, no complaints, all my crimps held last fall in the canyon.

IMO the best hand tool on the market is the Jinkai SC 3C. I have been selling this tool for over 25 years.

Thanks Dave - Can you tell me what's the smallest sleeves the SC 3C will crimp?
I'm having a hard time finding a definitive answer.

Thanks
