Thanks to all here who posted including Martin. I too am getting ready to purchase Anderson connectors for my project.

TRIcrimp, the best Powerpole crimping tool for 15, 30 and 45 amp contacts

Designed by Powerwerx to provide a positive crimp for Anderson Power Products 15, 30 & 45 amp contacts in a single tool. The ratcheting mechanism guarantees a complete crimp every time. A built-in contact positioner holds the contact during crimping.

I have “F” type crimpers and the Powerwerx system linked above. They both work great on Anderson 15/30/45 Powerpole connector terminals, Weatherpack, Deutsch, Molex, etc.
