AlpineNut Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I am going to be using these connectors for my grounds and positive connections when I redo the wiring, but having a issue getting them to crimp tight anymore so I need to find a cheap but good crimper that can crimp these tight. 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s5300 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Get the best yellow one you can afford. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Hydraulic+Crimper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineNut Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I was thinking that as well, but lil more then I had planned to spend since this will be only used for a lil while. But I guess that is what it will take to do the job to get it done right and not have any loose connections. Thanx for the reply! 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s5300 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 $37 is probably a fair price. The only cheaper thing I could tell you to do, is to get a piece of steel, tap it for some threaded rod, dremel out a die shape, and crank it like a homemade press. But that's nearly an hour long job, and you probably don't have much to drill steel with and tap well on hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineNut Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 My best friend might since he has alot of tools as a carpenter, but the hydraulic crimpers will prob do the best job 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79 cutty Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 If you don’t want to spend that much do you have the ability to solder? Takes longer, and a little more of an “art” to solder a lug properly, but solder is cheap if you have the tools to solder already. Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

I have a soldering iron and solder but I the one I got is from radioshack and kinda old and I tried it already on a crimp I did a while back and it took 2 long to get the metal to even heat up to be able to solder 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79 cutty Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 For lugs you would need a torch to get hot enough, soldering iron wouldn’t work. So if you have solder you could easily pick up a small propane torch from Menards/Home Depot/Lowes, etc. for $15-20 Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

AlpineNut Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I asked my best friend on facebook an he said he has the tool that would work perfectly for the job, but if not a hydraulic crimper would be something that would work nicely 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
