Lbox88 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 to put it in perspective, the Harbor freight black die set, I used the "0" gauge crimp on 4 gauge and it looked right.... on actual 1/0 terminals and wire, it made the ugly ass crimps, which is why I did it multiple times to make sure I had a good connection.

8ight Posted June 8, 2012 Author 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. That's well within the margin of error on any multimeter that isn't $50+ anyhow! Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ight Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I have this one and love it http://www.amazon.co...39199750&sr=8-1 Ordered one just like it. Stoked to try it out! Set screw terminals are expensive and soldering is time consuming and can be screwed up too easily. Knu wire jacket loves to melt and shrink when I solder connectors on.
