I need to build a few battery cables this year.  #4/0  and likely #2 /0 cable sizes .

I have (?) one of the hammer crimp tools I bought yrs ago.  Cant find it, yet.

I was looking at crimp tools with handles that look like bolt cutter tools, but thye crimp .  Reviews on them are hit , miss, sketchy.

Mayb I need to just buy another hammer type crimp tool?

I have been using a Harbor Freight hydraulic crimper for several years now and really like it.

I have one of those crimpers. I used it to straighten a bent frame flange. It's kind of useful. :)

I have to second Battery Cables USA. Just pick the length, gauge, color and ends that you want and in a few days they are at your door for a very reasonable price. Nice quality too.

Discovered (remembered) that there is a wire business here in the valley of the sun AZ.

CE Auto Electric in Gilbert AZ. That near 60 miles away , so shipping is likely cheaper than a drive to them?
