Rell Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I don't mean to sound like I'm sticking my nose up, or that I'm ungrateful for your help, but every open barrel connector tool I've seen is shaped differently than that one. It has guides to help shape the "ears" properly, kind of like a stapler. Like this one. I'm concerned the style you posted might not work as well I have the crimp die and crimp frame in my tool chest now. Love it http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Crimp-Tool-Non-Insulated-Terminals/dp/B0002KR9MU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top No Just squeeze it with some pliers Hell no I honestly have never seen one of those terminals THAT big. Who makes it, where did you find it? Im thinking its some odd ass made in China terminal that probably goes with some odd crimp die/tool with it. Like you said I have never seen anything bigger than 12-10ga. Is there some reason where you NEED to use THAT terminal rather then some usual common lugs you can solder or use bigger (bolt cutter style/ or hydraullic) crimpers on?

SnowDrifter Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 We stock them at work. Typically use them when someone needs a new battery but their terminals are corroded to the point of no longer being usable. ~~~~~~~~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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I could be wrong. And it's bloody expensive. But this would appear to roll those ears in and flatten them. http://crimpsupply.com/long-handled-crimp-tool-for-8-2-ga-insulated-non-insulated-connectors.html 2002 Monte Carlo Started a build log Fi, DC, Mechman, XS Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close, but not there.

Rell Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 How your work place carry the terminals but not the tool to crimp them lol. You need a tool that does F crimps in 4ga. Google searching has turned up nothing, now I'm interested. Hell I haven't even came across terminals that size yet. If/when you ever find the correct tool it is not going to be cheap.

mnrookie Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I haven't been able to find anything that large. But Tony C told me they use a crimp press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what he is looking to crimp the tool would probably be more in the size rage of bolt cutters or slightly smaller. I would ask my work who the supplier is for these terminals, either they sell the tool or die, or they know where the purchase it from. Why would they supply a terminal and not have the tool to complete the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
