Rell Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 don't forget to use some kind of anti-rust on the dies between use.noob question, but what do you mean by anti-rust? Some kind of grease or something? Just coat it with a little wd40 or superlube from homedepot etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega5002 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I have the 12 ton Hydraulic crimper, works great, and all the dies are the correct sizeFixed all my ghetto crimps on all my 1/0 in my Big 5 with a proper hydraulic crimper, car starts better, doesn't shake anymore when idling, alt whine is gone, system sounds better, and I gained .4 on the meter at a show I went to just from using the proper tool.Best part about it, I only got it for $60 http://www.ebay.com/itm/200864647430?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega5002 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 That's awesome, Omega! Glad to hear you had some success Thanks Snow, now I know why you always preach about proper crimping, because it makes a good difference. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeez Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 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 Sorry for bringing up an old thread, I just ordered one of these 12ton crimpers today, I should have it in about 2wks it seems. Do you prefer a specific brand ring lug, I need to terminate some 0awg in my engine bay for the big three and I need something corrosion resistant. Looks like I want 1/0 tinned copper lugs, w/ some 1/2" heatshrink tube? Should I be going for a 3/8" screw hole in the lug ends? Or should I be getting 2/0 because some car audio 0awg is oversized?
