I bought one of these... I just got it in the mail today. I did my install a few days ago and all I used was a vice and a pipe to put a lot more torque on the vice than I could with my hand. (I bought this after my install) I tried it out today and works really well and not a bad price compared to buying the big crimpers and also a lot of other hammer lug crimper things are more expensive than this one.

A bazillion dollar crimping tool //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif J/P.If you only have a couple crimps to do and cant get a tool then you could try a BIG set of channel locks.I have used them before.

yeah I've shopped and shopped to try to find a set and were out of my price range for the time being so I went with the cheap hammer crimper. It works pretty good I just got it today and tested it out.
