I'm often the first to complain about low quality tools manufactured in China but I have to admit, this crimper works quite well. I used this tool to make literally dozens of crimps to assemble three dual-battery systems with solar tie-ins and inverters on 4WD expedition vehicles. I used marine-grade ANCO tinned-copper fine-stranded wire from 2 AWG to 1/0 AWG with ANCO tinned copper lugs. I was impressed with this tool's operation and the appearance of the crimps.

The biggest disadvantage of this type of crimper is that it usually cannot be used where the wire will be located - say, in the engine bay of your vehicle, because you need to get the wire down to a solid surface to make your crimps. This also makes it more difficult to crimp the lug for the best orientation to the terminal to which it will be attached, so the wire isn't twisting inside the lug when it is bolted to the terminal stud. My solution was to position the wire in its intended location, cut the wire to length, strip the end and then position the lug on the stripped end. Then, I carefully place the loose lug on the terminal, turning the lug on the wire so it naturally falls over the terminal stud without any strain or twisting. Then I use masking tape over the lug and wire insulation to keep the lug in position while I remove the wire and make the crimp. You can leave the tape on while crimping, making the job easier . . . but it's still a hassle. If I did more of this kind of work professionally, I would definitely invest in the professional tool. But for hundreds of dollars less, the hammer crimper is a good option.

After having to discard a few of the crimps due to wiring-plan changes, I got curious and used a hacksaw to cut through the middle of one of my crimps to see how well the tool performed.

Worked alright. A little cheesey but it got the job down. After the first hit with a hammer the little spring shot out of it but it didn't slow me down at all. I used this with both 3/0awg and 4awg wire connectors with no issues. I do recommend that if you are fastening ring type connectors that have to sit flush or flat against a surface that you have the side that needs to be flat facing upwards since this leaves whatever part you are crimping triangular.

I didn't try using a hammer on this. i was making some 0 gauge battery cables, stuck the crimping tool in a vice. worked great.

I've used this with the Pico 4439C 1/0 AWG Battery Cable 3/8" Tubular Lug Ring / Eye Terminals, and am very happy.

Then this is the way to do it. Grab a smallish sledge, a strong table or slab (I used this at a dirt covered boatyard, and placed this on a piece of 1/2" plywood), align the lug and the cable, and give it a good whack. I've made a bunch of custom sized cables while rewiring my boat. This does the job.

Works as expected. provided a nice strong crimp on 2/0 battery terminals, as well as good crimps on 4 AWG cable too. Well worth the money. Used it with a 4lb maul hammer.

This works very well in combination with a sledgehammer or maul. I used it with 4-gauge ring terminals and it crimps well, though you need to reposition and crimp again with really large ring terminals.
