Wire Crimper

I just got this YQK-70 10 ton hydraulic wire terminal crimper from Amazon for $37.



Works VERY well with dies from 12 to 2/0 AWG. Only draw-back is that the dies are marked in mm2, but you can easily find conversion charts to AWG on line.



Don't see how you can beat it for the buck.

Those are some rough looking dies, but if they get the job done, that's all that matters.
For what it is worth, I only use seamless barrel terminals. They cost a bit more and it probably doesn't matter for a ground strap, but.....
( don't you know if you post a pic on VAF, you get unintended side chatter...sorry)
 
The dies are actually quite nice - I think the light reflecting off them makes them look rough. I crimped some 2 gauge wire as well, and it looks bomb proof. Thanks for the tip on the seamless terminals. I had thought I ordered those but apparently I didn?t.
