This is where you can find the hydraulic crimping tool we have used for the past two years. It works best with metal-only terminals, but it will do plastic covered terminals as well.

One note about this tool: It does rust if left out, so make sure it gets put away as well as oil it every two to three weeks depending on the amount you use it.
