Where can I find 0 gauge crimp ring terminals (NOT ONLINE)???

[Rkrajnov 10+ year member]

I need to find a store I can go and pick up some at today so nothing online please. Anyone know of any stores that sell these?? Also what would be the cheapest way to crimp it? I don't care if its a little ghetto, I don't want to pay a bunch of money for a tool I'm gonna use once or twice.

best bet would be a car audio shop? Lil expensive there usually though. You can use a vice to crimp them...

I found some at napa auto parts store. Check all of the parts stores in town. Get a hammer, insert wire into terminal, lay on solid ground and beat the living shit out of it. Process complete.

i usually peel back the "wings" on the terminal, then put the wire in and insert it into the vice. bend one wing down onto the wire, and then put the other wing over it and smash em in the vice. I usually solder em a bit too afterwards.

Find a welding supply store, they will stock terminals up to and possibly bigger than 4/0. Make sure you get the solid barrel copper type and you can indeed use a hammer on the ground to ''crimp''

They sell the crimping tool you need, it's called a "Swedge-on" and it's less than $10 plus shipping. They also sell terminals and wire too (for future reference).
