Plus one vote for the hammer crimper, that is what I use.

So after reading Peter's link on pbase, I have less support of my own
recommendation for the cheap "hydraulic" crimper for which I sent a link.
However, after seeing the price of the crimper on pbase ($275), I more
strongly support my suggestion of the hammer crimp. Aside from the
suggested crimper all of the other suggestions are reasonable.
I think you are going to find yourself at an impasse regarding cost
and quality. While the quality of the crimper and lugs suggested by
pbase appear to be of superior quality, you are probably going to find
that the cost and availability of the lugs is restrictive and the cost
of the crimper prohibitive. Its a pretty large commitment.
Quality lugs for the hammer crimper are readily available if you
choose to go the cheap way. As pbase even said, that knarly looking
chrimp still worked. The crimper was only one of many criticisms of
that crimp. It is my opinion that if you employ all of the other
pbase suggestions but use the hammer crimper and compatible lugs then
you will still end up with a quality, long lasting and safe
connection. I've done dozens and am proud of all of them.

I got one of these and it works well though probably not to the

For a more appropriate crimp you could try something like this.
Its only $20-25 dollars more. Since I already have the other
crimper I won't be buying this one but if I was in your shoes I
would spend the extra cash.

Listers,
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a tool (or tools)
for cutting and for crimping terminals onto #6 and/or #4
battery cable?
All the best,
