I need to crimp four SB350 PowerPoles onto 2/0 gauge wire (about like a battery cable.)? Anybody have a crimper I could borrow, or know of one somewhere that I could use at minimal cost?? I've tried welding shops, an electrician, NTB, Batteries+Bulbs, and my auto mechanic (they might need to crimp a terminal on a replacement battery cable.)? My next call will be to the pickup accessories place on University in Denton -- they install winches on trucks & Jeeps and might have the need to crimp connectors onto fat wires.? The cheapest one I've found online is $250, and that's a lot for just 4 crimps!
I could solder them, but I don't like soldered connections where there's a possibility of high vibration and/or temperature, and these connections are for the power cable to my vehicle's winch (it's on a carrier, and can be put in the front or rear hitch receiver.)? I'm not crazy about using a hammer, either, since the PowerPoles have to be relatively round to fit in the shells.
Thanks and 73,
John DE K5JY
