The one I have was my Dad's from when he worked for the RR. I have had no issue using it on 4/0 wire.
Amazon has plenty-Just got to know the gauge you will be using, before you buy.

If you want a good one find a Snap-On truck.

From what I have seen in larger wire crimping tools they can get pricey, especially as much as they are needed for a CJ. I just get by with a good set of wire cutters to compress the terminal and fill the remaining space in with solder heated with a small torch. Then cover with heat shrink tube.

go to a welding supply they should have one you hit with a hammer. they are less than $30.
