I think im the only one that probably does it difrently. It sounds a little hacked but ive never had problems. I use the ones that have the open end, like they sell at autozone etc. Then i heat them up with a torch and fill them like half way with solder and plop the wire in. Works for me

Table vise will due just fine. Ive tried sauder as well, seems to hold just fine.

Some channel locks and a table vice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I put a bit of solder in some of them, but since solder is a TERRIBLE conducter, I tried to use it sparingly.

I did this on 4 gauge wire that i was trying to make fit tight into a 1/0 ring terminal. Took Forever lol. But the BFH held strong and taught it a lesson.
