I've seen a 'friend' modifying a bolt-cutter's jaws to crimp. He did a major
electric refit and I have not seen him working on the electric since, about 6
years. I can ask him.

The FTZ crimper with the rotating dies is basically a less-expensive version of
the Greenlee I’ve got. Definitely the ticket for reliable crimps, so long as
you use good lugs.

Right. Up in the SF Bay I bought big wires at Sven's just because they
had a commercial crimper on a bench.
That said, I have one of those cheap Ancor crimpers. I don't use a
hammer. I use vice grips, and slowly work it down. It ain'

If it’s not too tough, you could make the runs and cut to length, then ship to

To avoid confusion with the “hot” AC lead, which is also black, the DC “cold”

Edd,
I owned a business that had a Thomas & Betts TBM6 crimp tool. It is
expensive and I don't think you'd want to buy one. However, it is very
important to get a good crimp. You might try finding someone who makes
custom marine cables.

I will add another vote for the hammer crimper. I used one during the

The Greenlee compound-action crimper is the one I’ve got; the one that normally
goes for about $700. And I will only use that for high-current cabling; the
hammer-type crimpers don’t do near as good a job. Any small resistance in a
high-current cable will produce an incredible amount of heat,
Plus one vote for the hammer crimper, that is what I use.

However, after seeing the price of the crimper on pbase ($275), I more
strongly support my suggestion of the hammer crimp. Aside from the

You can order custom battery cables to size and length with tinned cable on

For a more appropriate crimp you could try something like this. Its only

I have big electricians crimpers. They look like bolt cutters. Electric
