Hunters21w Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 I am about to buy pretty much the same one. There's another on there that looks the same but uses bigger dies. If you look her add says bigger dies than the rest and has comparison pics. I'd get a link but I'm on the phone. Let me know if you find it. It has silver dies instead of black. 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400
Lbox88 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html I have this one from Harbor freight and it works, but the dies are small. The 1/0 is more like a crimp for 2 AWG. As Hunter stated, looks like the one you're looking at has the correct sizes. UBL | Build Log
Decaf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 do not get one with black dies! get this instead if you want an 8ton... and its $8 cheaper http://www.ebay.com/...=item4cf92de324 i have this one and its freakin awesome, harbor freight one is garbage mine goes from 8g-4/0g, buy yours from ebay seller sarohs or mic-tools http://www.ebay.com/...=item35b0a2803d i use the 50mm^2 for most 1/0g
Hunters21w Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Yea the 8ton decaf posted is the exact same one, different seller. I would get that. I like that it's a lot smaller than the 12 ton as I won't be using it THAT often lol. 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400
Decaf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 the best ones from China say YQ-70, YQ-120, YQ-300 on the box
Hunters21w Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Didn't think to check that. Good eye. Lol 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400
Decaf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 no prob the 8ton has short handles which makes the last few pumps harder than if you had the 12ton, which is why i got the 12ton along with the ability to do 4/0 if need be
rubbernutz1 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 yeah itl work fine. i got 1 and it crimps the piss out of rings. i tried to pull the rings off on purpose and they was solid. if u ask me its worth every dollar
