Re: 6 Gauge Crimper From Bolt Cutters

OP: how have you verified that your home-made crimpers do, in fact, make a good crimp connection?

We bought one of these tools: http://www.mcmaster.com/#7061k12/=qj71xs

Seems to work pretty darn well. Can be used with a hammer, and probably a press (though we haven't tried). Easily fits in our electronics toolbox and doesn't break the bank.
