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.

Take a look at each product individually. For instance:

They're also approved for home wiring in many locales. Most people don't
ask, though, so they're not aware of it.
