Great advice from several posters in this thread, especially Don and Al.
I have used several methods to crimp terminals on 6 AWG wire for FRC robots. Most recently, I have been using this
ratcheting crimp tool from MCM. I like it because it gives a secure crimp, and fits in my tool box.
After crimping, I like to sleeve the finished crimp using 3/16" heat shrink tubing, McMaster p/n 7132K75 (black) or 7132K752 (red).

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
