Decaf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 lmfao..just use a bench clamp... hammer crimp? if you haven't used a hydraulic crimp you have no idea how much better the crimp is i always use this pic, hammer crimp will not do this
Lbox88 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 ^lol, I remember the original thread that was in too, god, basically fuses the terminal and wire as if they were one. I wonder if you can find spare dies for those crimpers so I could replace mine .... UBL | Build Log

Was looking online and found this guy in Kansas selling the right one and might hit him up to see If he'll hook me up with the right die parts. UBL | Build Log

You know the funny thing about harbor freight...is that it seems none of their stuff break...I've owned a rachet set from them, use it on my impact wrenches...for 4 years, haven't broken yet...EVEN their fuses don't break. lmao, I would highly advise NOT to get fuses from harbor freight looool...they'll definitely troll you. New build coming soon. [center][url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/sigtoo.jpg/"][img]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9541/sigtoo.jpg[/img][/url][/center]
