Rudy I bought a cheap 10 ton hydraulic  crimper from HF (no longer listed)
that included dies that were in mm. I modified one die set to fit 4/0 cable
and used it several times. I've seen several similar 16 ton hydraulic
crimpers on e-bay for $30 prehaps worth the  risk/buy.  I also used the
smaller dies to swage wire rope and that  ok as well.

Amp rotocrimp.  8 guage thru 4/0.  Has rotable dies in the jaws to fit the
various size terminals

The place I worked before retirement used these for assembly of
communication shelters.  I borrowed them for initial wiring of my boat.
When I retired, I knew I needed one

Very expensive new, I found one used on ebay for about $125
