It worked, but it looked fugly. I think my issue was I was using CCA instead of copper.Still, I've used a hammer crimper and mallet since then and I wouldn't have it any other way. They're snug; the terminations could probably support my weight.If I had access to an industrial hex crimper I'd use that for sure. Shrink some tubing on then and you're golden. Since it's AWG wire a 1/0 ring would be a perfect fit. You can get both copper lugs and heat shrink tubing at Harbor Freight for cheap if you've got one of those near by, though it doesn't have fancy colors like the stuff some CA companies put out.</blockquote>
