The National Telephone Supply Co. tool has about 24” handles and is the best tool for Nicopress terminals.  If you can find a sailboat rigging shop you might pay them to make a house call.  It is very important to make the crimps correctly and to verify them with a gauge whatever tool you use.  The Aircraft Spruce tool is probably OK for rudder pedals if you are careful.  I would use a Swaged fitting for Flying wires and other high stress applications.
