I need to crimp 2 16mm x 8 uninsulated lugs onto some 16mm stranded cable.

I don't possess a crimp tool for uninsulated lugs, very rare need (for
me) - simply not worth £21 cost for 2 crimps.
Typical I have insulated lug crimps, RJ45,RJ11,BT631A, RG58/59, CT100,
etc. ... but not this type.
I don't want to solder on as it will reduce flexibility at joint, and
could result in failure in future.

Any body any suggestion of neat way of doing this without the tool ?

Pliers ?
Molegrips ?
Vice jaws ?
make up something to use in vice jaws ?

Take it to an auto-electrical man. I did this for a heavy duty cable for an
inverter. Crimped two connections and supplied a 100amp fuse (+holder)
for a tenner. Money well spent IMO.
