Crimping 1/0 AWG Ring terminals???

Hey,

What do you guys do to crimp 1/0 ring terminals? The ones that are a solid piece, no gap, makes them pretty solid...

A crimping tool? A vice grip?

Thanks

Exactly! One of the best things I have ever bought for installing car audio. You can get them on the bay for 14.99. Its well worth it.

I've used a curb sidewalk and a hammer it worked well . but crimping tool is the best.

The crimp tool is something you'll always be glad you bought. It can fit slightly larger than 4/0 terminals in it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
