Note: Some crimpers come with a gauge, but with variations in wire, terminal wall thickness and material used, this feature is a recipe for bad crimps. Using the force method above will ensure perfect crimps every time. Once the terminal completely envelopes the wire, the crimper will not move and when struck will feel "solid".
Finding the perfect die and its challenges.
With a die crimper it can be frustrating to get the right die to work due to the difference in tolerance of wire strand size and terminal wall thickness. For example, if you have a 2 AWG cable from one brand, a 2 AWG lug from another, and a crimper with a 2 AWG die, you might not be able to get the perfect crimp because of the varying differences. The benefit of a dieless crimper like the TH0007 is that there are no dies to choose from and it's infinitely adjustable.
If you just need to do a handful of quick solid crimps and don't want to fuss with sizing issues, an indent crimper is a solid solution.

Just got mine in today. Adding some fuses to my solar kit. They should help a lot with my modifying of some battery cables
To make it even easier, clamp it into a heavy duty vice so it can't get away from you.. And use a 4 Pound hand sledge. Your results will be much better!!
Cool Tool..beats my screwdriver & hammer on vise method
Oh man, now I want to crimp something!
I bought the Lincoln version; they all appear to be made the same. Thanks for sharing!
Same here, from Northern tool!
I use one of those ever day !
We call it the Atom Smasher !
A good vice and my 5 Lbs sledge ensure its crimped for Life !
Very interesting! Love that Copper cable! Must have cost $$$! 😃👍
I think it's called "ScoutCrafter Red Positive Cable". ;) It was extra from a previous project, I never throw anything away. Over the years I've ended up with a fairly useful collection of oddities.
I thought it was a lot larger until you grabbed it .
Any tool that includes hitting it with a hammer is a good'un to have. lol... This one is interesting and I can see it being very useful with crimping connectors to the larger diameter wire.
thanks man i ordered mine cant wait to get it!
On the soldering the cables I heard it’s a bad method to crimp your lugs because you get a resistance and you don’t want that.
I read some papers researching this on Google Scholar, and crimping turns out to have much lower resistance and failure rates than soldering.
If it’s a good crimp I think it is better and lower resistance than soldering.
I was just researching that and apart from resistance which may not be an issue with increased surface area, it seems the bigger issue is that flux from solder can have long term effects on the wire and make strands more prone to breakage. Generally flux is washed off and/or the wire is not stressed, but maybe a consideration with lugs that wicked up flux into fine strand cables.
You may want to try using a 3 lb or heavier Dead Blow Hammer.only one strike, and no bounce. Try it, you’ll like it,
Just want to say... when you're using heavy cable like this, you're talking about enough current, that should something go wrong and your cable heats up.... once that solder melts you no longer have a mechanical connection to the terminal.
Very true, and keep in mind once you get the lugs hot enough to melt solder, not only did you not size your wire, breakers and or fuses incorrectly, you have other issues you need to worry about at that point. :D
So what ever became of your all electric Citicar?
I still have it! We drive it around town on nice sunny days! It is slowly getting restored. ;)
This is a pretty generic design and might even be made overseas, but I love Temco branded stuff and they back their products as a good company would
