JohnnyOhh Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think you can use the crimp tool with ring terminals that have split on them. I've used this tool with 0 awg ring terminals (DB Link - RT020GR) and 0 awg cables (DB Link - StrandFlex) and the connection feels solid and looks okay. Here's a picture of the crimps I've made with "70" and "50" size crimps. I ended up using two crimps per terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
