Hi Chris, When our company began installing utility-scale PV projects, we purchased a Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC crimper ( https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Electrical-Installation/Crimpers). I haven't personally worked with any other brands of electric crimpers, so I cannot offer

We started buying premade cables, and only do a few crimps per job now.  Don't miss cable making at all. Ray Walters Remote Solar 303 505-8760 On 2/22/21 6:58 AM, Chad Waits wrote: I think it was about $3K with dies but we also go a free DeWalt large wire stripper with it as well. And yes, it

John,             If you can make up the cables in your shop, I've been putting one of the handles of the BA hand crimper in the vice. You can then put your all on the 'free' handle, much better for 4/0 magnalugs.  Out in the field it is a grunt for sure.  Sorry no idea about electric. Bill

Chad, what ballpark price for the Dewalt crimped. Does it handle 4/0 heavy duty lugs. I’m getting too old for my hand crumper. John Blittersdorf On Sun, Feb 21, 2021 at 7:05 PM Chad Waits wrote: > We bought the DeWalt version not too long ago. Makes great crimps and much > easier to work wit

We bought the DeWalt version not too long ago. Makes great crimps and much easier to work with in tight spaces if you have too. Well worth the money... Chad Waits President-Net Zero Solar Cell: (520) 270-4873 On Sun, Feb 21, 2021 at 2:40 PM Chris Sparadeo wrote: > Hi all, > > I’m wondering i

Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for an electric crimper tool for battery lugs? I see that they can get expensive quickly, but a tool that cuts down on the struggle is a tool worth considering. Thanks in advance! -Chris -- Chris Sparadeo C_802-369-4458 H_802-728-3059 __
