Subject: | Re: Harbor Freight Hydraulic Crimper |
Bob, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I tried the tool a couple
of times on three different sizes and didn't like the results, more smash
than swage. By what I could find on the web, the dies barely accommodated
the wire size much less a termination. The 00 size worked okay on an Amp 4
gauge terminal, but I didn't think it was going to be that useful. The
hydraulic cylinder was handy and worked well and I thought briefly about
remachining the dies. In the end it just went back to Harbor Freight.
