Yes there are crimp style T taps or C taps but as Larry stated since you are installing bonding jumpers the connection to the GEC is not required to be irreversible. A split bolt listed for Aluminum conductors or Cu/Al if you jumpers are copper is all that's required.

My Inspector said they had to be irreversible. thats why I am looking for crimp crap!!!!
Tell him that he's incorrect. The GEC has to be irreversible spliced, bonding jumpers do not. Here's one example of the difference between the two.
