Karkov Posted August 17, 2013 Report Posted August 17, 2013 I have the 16 ton. Highly recommended Thanks snow I hope these are worth the extra 20. I just ordered the 16 ton I posted. Let us know what you think of it and what the biggest wire you can crimp with it in real life situation is.

Decaf Posted August 17, 2013 Report Posted August 17, 2013 I use 50mm^2 most of the time, or 70mm^2, either is what you would need for 2/0 plus a solid copper lug, all depends on lug thickness which will work bestCheapo brass split terms I sometimes can use 35mm^2 for standard "0" or "1/0"YQ-___ = the # is the largest die in the set in mm^2I prefer the 12/16 ton because of the "H" pin design is better IMO vs the "C" style like the 8ton Quote
Karkov Posted August 17, 2013 Report Posted August 17, 2013 I just ordered the one OP posted. Will see how it works, Thanks for the sizing eval ^^ Quote 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

SnowDrifter Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 This is the one I havehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydraulic-Crimping-Tool-Kit-16-Ton-Wire-Cable-Crimper-/330554371671?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item4cf6936e57 Crimps down to 4ga. I usually don't end up putting terminals on anything smaller than that and I decided to optimize for what I would mostly be doing, which is 0 gauge or larger, and the occasional 4ga. 8ga and smaller, it's just easier to give it a zap with a soldering gun Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

My bad. I meant that the largest wire it will crimp is 6 a Quote Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire
