Wrenches,



We are embarking on a project in November that has enough battery cable and
terminal crimps to justify researching and buying power tools specific to
the task.  If other Wrenches have product recommendations I'll take them.
The battery wire we've spec'd is 4/0 copper (UL 1283 / MTW / THW).



For the stripper should I be looking for a stripper that works for copper "THHN
/ XHHW" or "RHW / RHH / USE"?  Logic would suggest THHN but I don't know
enough about the individual properties of these wire types to understand
the pros and cons of how well it will strip the wire given the different
insulating jacket thicknesses.



So far in my initial research I have only found crimpers that are
lineman-specific and haven't dived into the realm of automotive tools so
any direction that folks could throw my way along this avenue will also be
appreciated.



Cheers,

Sam
