That thing got bad reviews that the lugs are too small. Apparently you have to use the 00 lug to crimp 2 gauge.

Good Tool, Die size too small Review by Kenny B.

The die sizes are too small, I had too use 00 to crimp #6 insulated and #2 uninsulated. Sure beats a hammer crimper. I'll redrill the smaller dies to fit larger terminals better.
