Heavy Duty Crimping Tool?

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

I need something to properly crimp some pretty hefty terminals onto some 4guage cable. The terminals are Anderson connector type. Is there a die that I can use in a vice? Or is there a specific tool I could buy?

Cheers

The way to do without crimp is a punch and hammer if u have a c.e.f.or newy and eyre near you then rent the crimpers.

If you can post me the bits I can get them crimped on for you.

we use one like this in work http://www.thetoolboxshop.com/0-703-85-heavy-duty-crimping-tool-for-uninsulated-tube-terminals-9064.html?gclid=CIyy2emZ07kCFQ1L3god7koAcg

 

not worth the expenditure for a few one offs though!

Cheers for that Tom, I might take you up on that if I don't find anything. Annoyingly, I've just driven past rotherham!

cheap pair of boltcutters and patience with a dremel results in a fairly decent tool for crimping battery and high current terminals!

used to use a vice for crimping the battery connections on when fitting a winch to the land rover, can easliy shame it round and crimp it

Like Tom, i have the proper crimping tool at work and happy to do them for you if your struggling to get them sorted.

Is it this type of connection your trying to crimp?

I just dropped a set of these weighing 8 kilos onto my foot, resulting into a broken toe.

 

That's all I have to add.

Roon- ouch!

Mikec- not quite, but they have similar ends i'll grab a photo if/when i get the chance

When i stuck for the tool for crimping these in work, would bend the tabs over the cable, and then use a rectangular piece of metal about five mm to press them home in a vice. Bit of a bodge but it will be good and strong.
