  • Worked flawlessly
I wanted to re-wire new batteries to the bow thruster and windlass on our sailing boat. Getting an electrician to show up and do everything was going to be tricky and, in the end, proved impossible. However, I purchased this crimper tool in advance and it allowed me to do all the connections on the marine grade cables, from AWG 6 through 1/0 without a problem. I did borrow the industrial shipyard vise to help me push the crimper (along with a hefty pipe I found on the floor for extra torque); but this tool did everything with ease. I lost count of all the connections, easily over 15 with cables of all sizes and high quality (thick) copper connectors. It's a big recommendation from me. ... show more

  • RV wiring upgrade. Great little tool! Works perfect!!
Bought this to make my own cables for an RV wiring upgrade. Worth every penny. It's smaller than you'd expect, but quite tough. I've made multiple cables using 4/0 welding wire, 2 awg welding wire, 1awg thhn and 6 awg stranded wire. This crimper handled them all perfectly. Pro tips: Use good copper lugs appropriate for the gauge wire you're crimping. Find a firm surface, concrete or steel will do. Use a small sledge, 2-4 lbs, but one that you can still operate comfortably with one hand. Hold the lug snug to the wire with one hand and hammer with the other hand, at least for the first tap or two. Start with a decent tap, just to seat the crimper in the lug so when you whack it with the next strikes it won't slip. 4-5 good whacks (for 4/0, less for small wire), you'll hear the sound change as you compact that wire and turn it into essentially solid metal at the crimp. When that sound changes, you're crimped! No adjustments needed between different wire sizes, it's self adjusting. I also added solder to my connections. I found this worked best: flux the copper wire and the inside of the lug beforehand, then crimp as described, then heat it up and add solder (some of my larger lugs had no holes in the lug, other than the big one the wire goes in, so I drilled a 1/8" or so hole in the lug to add the solder thru. Worked great, but honestly, you don't even need to solder these connections. The crimper makes them that strong! Recommend heat shrink wrap, the good thick kind with glue inside. Strengthens the connections, makes it waterproof and looks professional ... show more

  • Great crimper - excellent value
I bought this to crimp lugs on 6 and 8 awg wire for an rv solar project. It is recommended by Will Prowse on his solar website. Worked great and costs much less than other types of crimpers. Also, it’s small and fits in my electrical toolbox, where most other types of crimpers would need their own bag or carrying case. Dead simple to use and makes a solid crimp - just use the heaviest hammer you have and set on a solid surface. ... show more

  • Works as advertised. Seems sturdy.
Crimps well. Have just used it once on 10 GA cable lugs. Performed as expected.

  • GOOD TOOL
Worked well. Took a while to figure out how to use it effectively but it works. You have to be careful placing the crimp or you will be wasting them.

  • Should have bought this months ago
I am converting a van into a home on wheels and I had to do extensive electrical work throughout. I purchased pre-made cables for 90% of it, and made my electrical layout work around the available sizes. But after seeing how easy it is to crimp my own cables with this tool, I really wish I would have bought this from the beginning. Making your own cables, at the exact size you need is a wonderful thing. It's cheaper, more convenient, and looks better. This tool works as expected. I have never crimped my own lugs at thicker gauges (I'm currently making 4 AWG wires), and I have been successful each and every time. I followed the advice of others and purchased a small 3 LB sledgehammer, and it's working well. It usually only takes one well-placed hit. Having the right tools is the difference between utter frustration, and a job done well the first time. This is one of the right tools. It's durable, easy to use, and will last a lifetime. As a side note, I also highly recommend the stranded copper wire from WindyNation for any automotive/van projects. It's super flexible with a plush, tactile jacket that feels premium. I tried several other brands of wire, and they were all garbage in comparison. ... show more

  • Heavy duty
This crimper works for 2-0 wire very well once you get the hang of it. Much cheaper than the alternative.
