Review on πŸ”§ IWISS Battery Cable Lug Crimper: Heavy Duty Tool for 8-1/0 AWG Wire Lugs with Wire Shear Cutter by Rudy Hilmy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's darn good for power tools and hand tools

3.5 stars would have been more accurate, but 3 is meant to outweigh the 4.5 star rating. The picture shows 6 AWG which is NOT accurate. crimped with 7 AWG setting and pancake termination on one side. 2. I read the review to set one side above and the other below the 6 AWG setting. So I made 9 AWG on both to start the hex shape and then adjusted one side to 7 AWG to make it more solid. I rotated the terminal 90 degrees before the second crimp and that helped avoid the pancake, then I also set the other side to 7 AWG and rotated the terminal 90 degrees again for the final crimp. This method has worked, but is too narrow and not entirely ideal. I won't buy it again, but I won't send it back either. for what it's worth.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Requires outlet
