[RE-wrenches] #2 -#8 AWG Crimpers

[Luke Christy]

Hi Khirpa,
We use a high quality mini hex crimper with rotatable dies for #8-1/0 AWG. It is basically a miniature version of the Hex-Crimp battery lug crimper sold by Quick Cable. The one I have is older and no longer has the manufacturer label, but I believe it was marketed as a Cub Crimper. A quick web search shows that there is still a similar crimper sold under that name. At any rate, I have been very pleased with this crimper, and I'd recommend it.

Best,
-Luke
