Crimping large cable lugs without a crimper

wrote: 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. $15.75 is too expensive? One that will crimp 8 gage to 4/0 using a hammer is that price from http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/ezrb790c.html For a photo of it, download the catalog at http://www.ezred.com/ and look at page 17. I have one of these, or one a lot like it. It works fine. Use a big hammer. |
