I have this hydraulic crimping tool and still my crimps ****. They're ok if I just pull on the wire straight but in my install the wires turn at the ring terminal so it looks like they're gonna slip out.... any help?
Shrink tube is your friend. I've tested my crimps by clamping them in the vice and yanking on the wire.I have this hydraulic crimping tool and still my crimps ****.

What, no electrical tape? Lol
my hydraulic crimper crimps it by smashing the edges down, not making the whole terminal flat. Is that how it's supposed to be?You must not be crimping tight enough if you can pull wire out of terminal after. I crimp tight enough to basically weld/fuse the terminal and the wire with a hydraulic crimper.

Mine smashes the edges down but also compresses the middle some. I then turn it 90 degrees and do it again. You have to tear wire or break the terminal to get it loose. Go a step below if you need too compress more.my hydraulic crimper crimps it by smashing the edges down, not making the whole terminal flat. Is that how it's supposed to be?
