Crimping Big Ring Terminals

[timaishu 10+ year member]

Am I missing something here? How the hell do you crimp something with a flat head screwdriver?

I prefer a large flat head over a chisel, but I crimp across the face deep, close to the opening. The I crimp lengthwise on the backside to lock it. Or you can buy those stinger terminals that tighten with a allen screw.............

My Dad's shop is 20 miles from me...And he lives even further.

I'd rather use a fcking screwdriver...

Holy shit, that sucks, you have to take an airplane just to see your dad?

dude, there was a thread about this like... last week with like 5 pages of answers... easiest ways... hammer outside the car... channel locks inside the car.... crimp em... take em off, make it a little smaller, crimp again, take it off, make it smaller, crimp again........works like a charm

edit: I mean vice grips

BFH=win but seriously, i use a hammer and a screw driver that you can put bits in, like the magnetic kind and just dont put a bit in it, and pound away, nothing special but its worked for me,

Hello There/

Wow...that's not cool at all.W/o you getting upset w/me...you did ask for some help,right? So help was given/.I have that $20.00 Hammer Crimp type,like the one in the link from Cromwell,and it works great for me.

It crimps from 8gauge to like 4/0 Cable.Than you can heat the barrel of the connector,and use solder.After it's cooled,use heat shrink tubing,either Red [+]or Black [-] for neg.

I personally use adhesive shrink tubing,especially outside the vehicle.It's waterproof and acts as a strain relief[Triple Wall version only],so the cable will not pull out. Hope that helps you.

Good Luck w/your System/.

Best Regards/

Raymond

^^^ Just curious as to why you type like that. No offense, just wondering.

I dont really feel that safe crimping big wire. Just solder them.

I use these all the time. Makes crimping large gauge ring termals a snap. Only down side is it costs about $200, but well worth the money
