I have one of the hydraulic ones, came from ebay I think. Harbor Freight carries them also. Crimps like you want it to and for as many crimps as I do a year it's worth it. If I was making cables every day for profit I'm sure there is a nicer, better, more expensive one to be had.

Do you mind sharing which one you have when you get a chance to verify?

Are you looking for an industrial grade set to do repeated work? or hobby grade to do a set here and there?

I got one that you place assembly in and hit it with hammer. Works shockingly well and was cheap - look on amazon.

Hobby grade - but needs to be good quality - will be used for primary electrical connections through the carThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Rodney Pryor,
I have This One and has been perfect for what I wanted/need. I like the one Big Steve posted as less expensive. Hydraulic is the way to go for sure.

Thanks all for the feedback. I ended up ordering a hydraulic crimper from TemCo. It was 1 of the few that I saw with AWG instead of metric dies that included 1 AWG wire.
