Lbox88 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) ebay, but make sure you get the ones with the chrome dies, not the black ones EDIT: the 8 ton one will work http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-TON-HYDRAULIC-BATTERY-CABLE-WIRE-TERMINAL-CRIMPING-CRIMPER-TOOL-NEW-/261006618764?pt=BI_Electrical_Equipment_Tools&hash=item3cc534f08c#ht_769wt_1341 but if you wanna do 2/0+, I'd get the 16 ton crimp though so it's easier to compress http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-TON-HYDRAULIC-WIRE-CABLE-TERMINAL-CRIMPING-CRIMPER-NEW-/261018510767?pt=BI_Electrical_Equipment_Tools&hash=item3cc5ea65af#ht_500wt_1357 Edited June 8, 2012 by Lbox88 Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also ordered a Klein MM 2000 while I was at it, I've needed a new Multimeter i dunno if this might help you http://www.directind...mper-72926.html Not precisely what I was looking for, but thanks for the input. Will I need any special terminals for use with this beast? Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_stalker Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 i wouldnt see why you would. as long as you have the correct dies you should be able to use any terminals of that size with em Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Lbox88 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've got the shitty harbor freight one and Iv'e used it on both. Solid copper lugs, 4AWG on the left, 1/0 on undersized 1/0 wire on the right. Modified it a little to do these, better 1/0 Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ight Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hey, besides being a little uglier than what the other crimpers produce, that doesn't look like a half-bad termination. I have a harbor-freight near my work and buy all of my disposable tools there. Stuff like air fittings, tape, drill bits that I will ruin and throw away, and tape measures, can't really mess up making that kind of stuff even at the harbor-freight price point.

bass_stalker Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 the only thing about that harbor freight crimper is that people say the dies arent the correct sizes http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

I ordered the one you linked me to on eBay, anyhow. Probably just going to use it for work. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 The dies ARE the correct size. And for $50, so what if you might have to use the next die size up. Well worth the money. I've used mine countless times and over the past year I haven't had any connection problems, from front to back on 1 run of 1/0 I lose .1 volts. Seems like a good connection to me.
