[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8600084, member: 614752"] I think his point was not spending a few hundred dollars in professional tier lineman tools to do one audio build every few years. In a tight space I've got away with just using vice grips. It's pretty tedious since you need to adjust a bunch of times and hit it from a couple angles, but it'll get you there if you're persistent. Lug terminals with set screws are pretty cheap these days either and are a viable alternative. And I've had pretty good results with the inexpensive swedge tool I picked up from weldingsupply.com. If you own a beefy hammer and aren't a total pansy it'll do everything fancy crimpers will do. [/QUOTE]
