NightmareImpala Posted February 18, 2012 Report 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
carshateme Posted February 18, 2012 Report 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.
