i'm going to make my own leaders,

do I need to buy the crimping tool for the double barrel sleeves or could I get by with something else (needle nose etc??

wondering what works best and if I need to spend the extra $25.

DONT waste your money, a good pair of pliers does the exact same thing. crimp fits right in the groves of the pliers and work perfect.

Irish,
Buy quality crimper/swager tool and you'll be set for life time.
This is the case when "economy" is not the best option.
