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. Rick On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 9:06 AM, Robert L.
