I have one of the Jaycar crimpers. Its not bad but I found that it tends squash two of the opposing sides where the jaws meet.
When I done my dual battery I use a Anderson Plug crimper for the main battery wires. (pic)

Nah, the dies start at 4mm2 and step up in 2mm increments till the heavy gauges.Originally Posted by Winnie
The kits with quality dies can cost but the Chinee Cheapies around $60 are quite adequate for hobby use (I have one same as cuppas link as my loaner kit)
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
Best option is to measure up cable sizes and get an auto sparky to crimp them.
I live in the sticks so I had to improvise a little... Hydraulic bottle jack under the tie down points, soldered them and then shrink wrapped. Worked a treat for me

I always crimp and solder the battery lugs in my truck.....
This helps to ensure a good connection over time, escpecially if you dont quite have the correct crimper

I have the same kit as Cuppa and it's awesome. Comes with 6sets or dies all different sizes up to 90mm2
Note that some of the guys are posting pics of the crimpers for Anderson plugs which are completely different and I have them too. They do the job different.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I also used the Ebay hydraulic crimper for my winch install. I added pics of crimper and result in the thread I did here.
Like Cuppa, I had to go one size under for the correct crimp. For the 50mm2 cable I had to go once with the 50mm dies then pass the 35mm over it.
The reason I did this is because I soldered the exposed copper near the end of the lug and found it wicked through the crimp. This is a sign that the crimp is not "gas tight" as it should be. Didn't happen after using the 35mm dies.
I just assumed the chinese dies weren't precise enough.
This is the crimper and the result on 50mm2 cable after passing the 35mm dies.

I do a double length crimp with mine rather than a single central crimp like that, I crimp the full length of the lug.

Your dies are thinner. That looks neat. Wouldn't look as neat with the thicker dies I think.
I like those shears.

A grinder works well too for cutting big cables neatly =]
