Default SE adjustable rocker arm installation

Okay so I am thinking about replacing the stock rocker arms with the SE adjustable rocker arms on my 2018 M8 Softail. I am going to do the work myself as it seems pretty straight forward. The only concern I have is replacing the single use crimped hose clamp that goes on the upper oil line to the oil cooler. I know this needs a special tool to crimp the clamp tight on the oil line. Where can I get this crimping tool and what specifically do I look for?
Thanks

Without seeing it firsthand, I'm assuming it's similar to this
Amazon Amazon
I purchased one similar when I was redoing the fuel line clamps inside the tank of my fat boy after a custom paint job. There are plenty of vendors out there that make one similar. Just search for crimp style hose clamp pliers.

that set of pliers looks nice. I used tile nippers from hardware store when I worked on my tank hoses
