Re: 6 Gauge Crimper From Bolt Cutters

Why not solder? Because soldering is time-consuming and dangerous with these connectors. Dangerous because the metal gets very hot while soldering and it's easy to touch it and get burned.

Crimped terminals are wonderful; we just didn't have the right tool available for a reasonable price.
