Default 8 gauge and higher crimper

Hey, I am unable for the life of me to find out where I can get a crimp tool for 8 gauge and higher wire. Anyone care to help me out? I have some 8 gauge crimps I would like to use to finish up my audio install.


Help is appreciated

if your using fittings like these on wire that big or bigger it really should be soldered anyways..thats why you cant find a tool because its not much longer to solder it and it will never come loose like crimping does...and thats the last thing you want on wire that big...







solder it like this...(im not saying you dont know how but just in case you dont or if anyone else if reading this...solder! so you dont burn your shit to the ground!)

Appreciate the heads up. I could do that with my butane torch i'm sure. Guess i'll invest in some solder ends and heatshrink for the wires.

Don't mean to bring a thread back from the dead, but where can I get the lugs for soldering? Preferrably local that won't want like $1.70 each (approximate price for 10 with shipping online).

We of course stock them as we use them daily. Many of the DIYers here get there stuff from us. Give me a call if we can help...
