If Edd’s going to pre-run and cut/crimp as he goes then I would think the
hammer crimp wouldn’t work for him.
In the thriving metropolis of New York, are there any tool rental places that
have them? Craigslist for a used one?

If you use the hammer crimp I suggested make sure you have a good "anvil". I
have always had the luxury of being able to take mine home and hammer them on
the concrete garage floor. The "V" shaped cradle and striker compress the lug
pretty evenly from 3 sides. While hitting it I can hear and feel a discernable
change when the lug is fully crimped. IMO This type of hammer crimp is
different/better (and cheaper) than the ancor dimple crimper (which can use a
hammer). The dimples in any size crimp connection are said to unevenly
compress and hold the strands of wire. The dimple can also cut the strands.

Fred,
Thanks, but the lengths are all a question mark. I purchased a large spool of
red and black cable and are going to do the runs under this and over that, and
then cut/crimp.
All the best,
Edd

Edd — I have one of the big crimpers, and could do cables for you. I just
need to know the gauge, the length stud to stud, and the stud sizes for the
lugs.

I'm thinking you don't want to pop $700 for one. :)
There are imported version for a lot less.
