Something about Greenlee’s combination wire stripping and crimping tool makes it look more like a torture instrument than a multi-functional tool for electricians. Maybe it’s the ergonomic curvature of the handles?
The Greenlee 1927A combo tool features grooved pliers jaws for minor gripping tasks, narrow nose for easier tight quarters access, machined stripping grooves, machine screw cutters, wire looping hole, curved cutter blades, and a series of crimping anvils.

I pass on any combo tool where the crimpers come before the pivot, there isn’t enough leverage to make good crimpers, or at least, several good crimps before your hands start hurting.
On the other hand, there is a Greenlee 1923 tool in my bag. Strippers, then the pivot, the crimping dies, then a cutter at the tip. Much more useful for my purposes.

Depending how they felt in my hand i would use these, they dont look outrages for a multiple purpose tool.
