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. Josh On Mar 25, 2015

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,
