No such thing as universal.
Sometimes a given crimper is designed to handle a small number of different specific termination types
and many people will jury-rig using a tool not designed for the specific connector they're fitting
but the quality of the resulting crimps are likely highly variable, need standard pull-test to verify
or even cutting samples to see whether gas-tight or not.
For foolproof and consistently high quality connections, get the specific tool designed for the specific termination type.
From the smallest to the largest size in a given line, often requires 2-3 separate tools, or swapping interchangeable dies in a particular tool frame.

You also need to be much more specific about the termination line you are working with.
JST is a manufacturer and has hundreds of connector types.
Their XH series nd GP match, but EH and PH are different.
Best to get familiar with their website, download data sheets etc
Or contact tech support at Digi, Mouser or whoever you choose as your supplier.
Obviously going for the cheaper products from consumer sources is unlikely to give the same quality results - consistency without skills required being the whole point of using matching tools and supplies.

+1 . You get what you need. I got lucky while Radio Shack still carried some electrical hobbyist and bought a crimper that looked like I could use for general stuff, but it didn't work for anything I had done to date. Then with my Nuc controllers I had to crimp these tiny pins that required exactly the right crimper, and it turned out that the RS crimper was for the two sizes of those types of pins. I have no idea if I could find the right crimper down here now.

I have the crimping tool for Andersons, and one cheap multi-tool that fits small bullets and spades connectors. Turned out I never needed any other. There is some simple logic into using the connectors for your crimper, instead of buying a crimper for every different connectors that you meet.

I like this crimper for F/open barrel style crimps. It has 13 different crimp sizes spread across a 3mm range, so it is fairly "universal".
