=jon= Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I bought a hydraulic crimper from ebay when I relocated the battery from the engine back to the pick up bed of the series - it's probably a bit overkill for that though, it was something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FERRULE-CRIMPING-BATTERY-CRIMPERS-TOOL-CRIMPER-HYDRAULIC-4-70MM-/290649293182?pt=UK_BOI_Materials_Supplies_Electrical_ET&hash=item43ac0c417e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Brock Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Mike, Thanks for that, I have mainly ratchet crimpers, but then I use them lots for work so its worth spending the cash. Paul, I have a set of those its for the next cables sizes up I'm struggling to find one for. One option is to fold the tabs over and use a 10/16mm ring terminal crimper to form the indent but that would be localised and not the whole length of the crimp, being in my day job having seen the result of poor crimps and the damage it can cause, im a bit @nal over things like that, so its the right tool for the job !! Could try one and even add some solder into the equasion to see what the result is Regards Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Les, I've been looking for a hand crimper to do an "F" crimp on terminals on 10mm2 cable, but can't find anything suitable. For that size of cable, all that I can find are either, hexagon or indent crimpers, which are fine for tube terminals, but no good for open-barrel terminals. I'm still looking and, if I find anything suitable, I'll post the details here. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
