Hammer Battery Lug Crimping Tool for 8, 6, 4, 2, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) Wire and Cable

I am doing a Cargo trailer conversion and installing a few lights and water pump. I am going to be using a high amp/hour battery for my source power. I need # 6 AWG wires between the battery, shunt and fuse box. In short, I don't need to have hundreds of crimp connections. This worked perfect for me. The spring popped out once on me as I hit it with the hammer , but it wasn't sitting flat on the concrete. It popped right back in and has been fine since. I also used heat shrink tubes over the crimps. Low price for just a few crimps and it worked great.

All the crimping tool you’ll need. This tool and a hammer. Works great.

Very sturdy high quality crimper. I used this in conjunction with other lugs that are available here on amazon and it has performed flawlessly. I primarily use it to crimp large wires for car audio systems, big 3 upgrades, and similar purposes. I use it in a vice to crimp wire and torque the heck out of it and it leaves me with a quality crimp that I know will perform well for a long time. Product claims to be rated to be used with a hammer but I just don't like the idea of using a hammer to crimp a wire when you can get some serious torque on it with a good vice. Overall would recommend and buy again.

worked great. perfect alternative to expensive crimper if you only need it for a 1 or 2 quick job or cable repair

What I liked about this was that this type of crimper is the least expensive of the options which will still produce a reliable crimp. I wasn't anticipating I would be doing a lot of crimping so the low cost option made sense to me.This crimper does indeed work, but ultimately was not suitable for my current needs. Basically, it's fine for assembling cables on the bench, but unusable when working with cable already installed in equipment. I thought I could get around that limitation by using a C-clamp with it but found it was impossible for me to keep the C-clamp from slipping off before enough force had been applied for a good crimp. I started to think of ways I could rig something up to make it work, but then realized it's just not worth my time and effort as compared to just buying a hydraulic tool.So that's what I ended up doing. I did consider getting a mechanical leverage crimping tool as that would have met my needs, but I found a hydraulic unit for not a lot of money that offers so much more versatility for future uses, that I went that way.In conclusion I do recommend this product for those who would only very occasionally need to make cables and can do so on a bench.

This tool is the best for crimping large electrical connectors. I’ve used it for connectors larger than #8 AWG. It’s very easy to use and easy to get professional results. I recommend to any one needing to crimp connectors on larger size cables.

I've had mine for over a year it's a great product very reliable I've don't so much wire with this it paid for its self I definitely recommend it
