Re: Stus-List Tool(s) Recommendation for Battery Cable

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. Ron From: Edd Schillay [mailto:e...@schil

Edd, You probably could find a marine electrician on City Island to do the crimps for short $ after you measure the runs you need, mark the spools with tape, and bring the wire spools, lugs and shrink wrap tubes to him. That way you could get "good" cuts and crimps from a "good" crimper withou
