Hunters21w Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters21w Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decaf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
