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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good taut battery wire crimping

I used this to crimp some 1Ga battery wires and it worked great with a 35mm die. The product description says up to 1 ga but I think it will crimp 1 ga. /0 very well with a 50mm sensor. Here's what I did to test the crimp: The die is pretty narrow, so I made two crimps next to each other at the terminal. I then cut the terminal in half to check the tightness of the strands and it looked nice and tight on the inside. I then cut a clip from the end of the wire, leaving about 1/2 inch of wire to try and pull the strands out of the clip. I couldn't get any of the strands out of the terminal, so I ripped off a bundle of strands to get to the middle strands and tried to pull individual strands out of the middle of the bundle. The strands broke before they were pulled out of the bundle . So, I'm very happy with the curves this thing makes.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • So far so good
