I do like the ratcheting crimpers that accept an assortment of dies, it's a good way to start with quality crimping. As you have other crimping needs, you just buy the dies, and don't have to buy a whole new set of pliers.

Once you've used the ratcheting crimpers to make spark plug wires, you will never go back to using premade, long/short, all over the place plug wires. Or mess with the silly plastic tools that come with the wires.

The MSD one is a quality unit, but it is a touch pricey. It looks like a Panduit, but not sure.

You can see the available dies here:

I use these to do large gauge crimping, like for battery terminals and such. Works great, and inexpensive:
