I like my hydraulic crimper. it is a 15 ton (I think) and is supposedly equivalent to exothermic welds. A bit heavy and bulky but you don't have to worry about burning the building down or getting hot work permits. We have copper crimps that have a #2 and 2/0 slot on one side and a 1/4 bar slot on the other. Our crimpers have a special die with a diamond pattern you use first to crimp into the buss bar so the crimp doesn't slide around when you are trying to crimp it. It puts a file looking pattern on the buss bar. Then crimp on the crimp, then the cable(s).
