You'll have to jump through a few hoops to find a dealer, but it's worth the
trouble.


Other considerations

Are they UL listed? This some indication of suitability and is required
for NEC wiring. A very limited perusal of Panduit didn't find UL listing.

Are they listed for solid wire or just stranded? Not an issue if you are
using just stranded. Some Panduit crimps are just for stranded. I have
had bad luck crimping #14 and larger solid.

As referenced by another post will they be used at high temperature.
There are nickle alloy crimps for high temp.
