Crimping large cable lugs without a crimper
"Ignoramus25589" wrote in message ... I will soon need to crimp many terminals on many short, but thick, 1 gauge or 0 gauge cables. Crimpers are just too expensive. Is there some way to get acceptable crimps without a crimper. I guess, also, that I could buy one on ebay and later sell it, but I would prefer to avoid that. Sure there is. Buy an inexpensive pair of Chinkalloy bolt cutters, and grind the profile you need into the blades. You can probably have the tool for $12.00 and a half-hour's work. LLoyd |
