6 Gauge Crimper From Bolt Cutters

My team was trying to get some crimpers, but only found a $170 one online. In previous years, we have used screwdrivers and a vice to crimp the battery terminals, but this year we decided to grind a $20 Home Depot bolt cutter down to make some crimpers. It only took half an hour, rather than days.

The attached photo is of the grinded bolt cutters.
