Looking for hydraulic or pneumatic wire crimpers to crimp the living shit out of some terminals. Cheapest I can find are the Harbor Freight ones for $50+shipping...I was hoping I could grab some for $30 or so.

Soldering large wires like 1/0g takes forever cause you need to heat up the wire before you can solder it

Nah, these hydraulic crimpers put so much pressure on the terminal that they damn near mold the wire into one solid piece.

Potentially, yes. Right now it's just for a bunch of 8gauge connections...I want something that's going to stick for good, and I don't want to mess with soldering.

they way i do it is heat up the ring terminal with a blow torch and feed the solder in till its 3/4 full of melted solder then just put the wire in....
