Talked to a guy at HF an he says they use that model there as well and it's a nice one, just gotta hope one comes in this week cause the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend. 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have solder you could easily pick up a small propane torch from Menards/Home Depot/Lowes, etc. for $15-20 Yep. A mini hand held disposable torch from Home Depot would work. This was the solder I used on mine: I prefer crimping now a days because it's faster. You can buy those 1/0 Lugs on eBay for cheap. They're super nice for crimping wire. I tried to crimp some cheapo 1/0 wire I bought a while back with the kind of lugs you had and they were so flimsy that I threw it all away. The lugs you have are nice for torching solder into though.

AlpineNut Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I went to the local stereo shop here and got a pair of channel lock crimpers which TBH are doing the job damn good. I called Harbor Freight and they were supposed to get some Hydraulic crimpers in today but none came in, the store manager was even going to sell me the one they use there for 20% off but they sent it back without his knowledge. Thanx for all the input guys, now just need to wait till it gets around 50F+ to redo all my back wiring and change my oil! 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishuponasub Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I was gonna say you could borrow mine but By the time we shipped it back and forth you could have bought one. Glad you found something that works.

06RTCharger Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I know u said cheap, i consider this cheap for the quality it is. Temco TH0034, less than $400. Unless theyre short stocked, then they bump it up to $1500 lol smh. All the other 12ton professional name brand hydros with the C-Head are well over $1000, some even 3k if i remember correctly. So this was a steal to me. On some 4/0 Knukonceptz with 250mcm dies Knu 4/0 with 4/0 dies. It wings just a lil so i just turn the lug and crimp over it again to flatten the wings. This shit is not coming loose lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineNut Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Napa wanted $500 just for a crimper with a 10" handle or one you used a hammer on for $90, the one from the local stereo shop where I got the channel lock one was $25 plus my normal 15% discount. 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
