NightmareImpala Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 copper lugs are great terminals if not the best (UL listed/marine grade, not cheapos) they were a pain to crimp because you didn't have the right tool! Ya....i went to good old home depot And purchased 1/0 UL listed copper lugs and they are real nice TEAM DISTANT THUNDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carshateme Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I always use vise, I don't really care for the look, for no one is really going to see it, considering it's covered up. New build coming soon.
