stupid question

i **** at crimping, i've been meaning to ask what you guys use? I usually try and use a pair of vice grips and tighten just a little each time till i can't squeeze tighter lol
Do what me and Andrew2944R did....screw the crimping....solder the **** things on there....I had to do 0 crimping and it works like a charm.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Hammer on the pavement. Use a center punch for it at first, so it gets a bite on it, then hammer away.

 
0 gauge cutters.

Barely cut into the sheath and pull the cover off.

Same thing on 0 gauge.

And to crimp 0 gauge you use a hammer and an anvil if you can't lay it on concrete

and if i have the time i use these

those pocket knives with the razorblade at the end work really good for 1/0 for me. i just cut around in a circle until i can feel the metal and then pull the coating off. i can cut a piece in half pretty quick with it too.
