Crimping large cable lugs without a crimper
Crimpers are just too expensive.
I know, but I still lust after those Hydraulic Thomas&Betts crimpers :-). Circa $1000 for the crimper and a single set of dies. Is there some way to get acceptable crimps without a crimper. Not really. But check the local tool rental places and you may find both the crimper and dies available for a reasonable daily cost. You can likely rearrange your design such that you don't need a crimper and instead use Cadwelds. Tim. |
