Friends:

More inverters these days present lugs for battery connections instead of studs. I bought some 2/0 and 4/0 ferrules to accommodate the fine stranded MTW we use. I have a cheap hex crimper but the results are poor with a sharp “wing” on either side of the crimp. 

What does the hive mind suggest for a ferrule and crimper for these larger wire sizes?

Thanks in advance.
