Nicopress makes one of the small crimp tools to match their sleeves. There is also a simple gauge available to measure wire to make sure their sleeves match properly. They have to match or you don't get the right crimp. These little tools have been out since I can remember in the 1960s and I've seen many sailboats rigged using them. I rigged several this way myself. In all these years this is the first time I've heard of one giving problems. I personally wouldn't hesitate to use these again.
