Working for GEC large steam turbines, our crimp pliers had to be calibrated, not seen it done with any other firm, but also the crimp had to be from one company, so in the main we do a test with over centre crimp pliers to see what jaw is required.
Lidi best look good, but as to selecting which jaw once the supplied crimps run out, it is really trail and error. But even with this cheap set, the jaws are marked.

You can presumably read the markings as well as I can, so the answer must be 'yes'. The nature of the figures marked is such that they are obviously mm², not AWG.
