Battery cable crimping tool

Can anyone link me to a Locost battery crimping tool? The ones connected to my car battery are fraying so need turning back and new lugs crimping on. I plan to shorten the length of live wire too.

It will need to be done in the car and access isn’t great so something you don’t need to whack with a hammer would be nice

Thanks

I ended up buying an ebay hydraulic crimper as i figured it might be useful for other stuff. Its not that small but could work.

That's the same as the one I bought, worked very well and give a range of sizes to crimp. Haven't made much use of it really but my friends have when doing their projects
