By the way:
personally I don't recommend soldering cable lugs. If the cable lugs are not be screwed tightly to the busbar or to the battery heat might be produced. This could cause that the soldering bit by bit might become brittle which leads to even greater heat. A situation that you definitely don't want.

Excellent video I like the fact that you were able to cut the crimps open and prove your work

[@paulsadler5511]

I love the humor. Well done!

[@DaywaIker]

Great and entertaining video, thanks!

[@namesurname133]

This is what i was looking for.

[@pellyrat1]

Good Video. You show the good ,the bad and the ugly, LOL Also you back up what you are doing with cutting the connections apart to show that they are good. Thanks

[@MrMandala1111]

Thanks for that. I have just returned a 6mm to 50mm mechanical crimper due to it creating those little side wings on the terminal's. I won't buy another hydraulic crimper after having a brand new one fail straight out of the box due to leaking fluid. I have been wondering how well the indent type work and that cut lug using a larger terminal looks like they work very well, I will be buying one this week, thanks again.

[@ajaithomas4669]

Simple and easy to understand. U definitely working hard by the look of your fingers 😢..thank you soo much

[@quickdb7]

Enjoyed your video.

[@andysworkbench]

Thanks for the comment, very nice of you!😀

[@SloMo-rk5pv]

I'm thinking the hydraulic one even though it's very slow would be good if you're in an awkward position trying to crimp because that it would allow you to set the wire and crimp properly

[@doranoon10]

thanks for the useful video! the music sometimes feels a little funny though hahaha

[@andysworkbench]

thanks for your comment😅😀

[@MrMaorosh]

i used to use normal pliers, change pres` and press, and repeat.

[@glaflamme]

Great examples, thank you

[@arcaneamusements2087]

I have not been able to find anything like that large cable crimper you prefer. Do you have a manufacturer or model number? Great video, thanks for the work you put in to it!

[@johnsmith-xe4qn]

Iam looking also. Where can i buy that kind of crimper

[@Jeffa67]

thanks for the video and information . entertaining and helpful

[@อุ่นใจอาละวาด]

It's a very informative video that is easy to understand.

[@LTVoyager]

It would be interesting to do both electrical tests and pull tests on these crimps. I suspect the indent crimps are solid and probably fine for most uses, but I believe they make a weaker connection as they bend and displace the conductors more than a hex crimper. And I find a proper hex crimp to look much more professional. To me an indent crimp just screams amateur. If you look at almost any commercially crimped connector, the crimp is almost always hexagonal or circular. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an automated machine crimp that was of the indent style. I may be wrong, but I suspect a good hex crimp will run cooler under high current and will withstand more mechanical stress.

[@thelonewolf666]

why does crimping have to be ultra fast??? the hydraulic one does a great job

[@josephking6515]

_Something_ (was that what you wanted me to write?) I was hoping this was going to be about smaller gauge wires from 26AWG and up or is it down o around 14AWG? I have to use 26AWG and put ferrules on them for a 5V or is it 3V LED project I am working on and I am a complete numpty with wires and electron stuff.

[@jamesgoforth1606]

Excellent. five out of five stars.

[@MrMaorosh]

now i use `10/14/24" Crimping Pliers Wire Rope Swager Crimper Fishing Crimping Tool With Aluminum Double Barrel Ferrule High Carbon Steel `, worth every penny

[@ThePinkPanth3r]

Id like to see an insert i could use in my vise.

[@nothing-vg6hh]

thank u very much very useful

[@charleselertii6187]

Thank you!

[@P_hilly]

If you aren’t going to use proper strippers then use a slice/slash resistant glove as ppe when using a knife to remove insulation

[@nocandopdx]

Who the fuck is going to put on gloves to strip a cable this has got to be the most cringe comment I've ever read on the Internet. People like you are the reason safety isn't taken seriously by others because you say something so ridiculous and then the whole topic gets associated with clown advice like this. Why don't you tell your wife to wear the gloves when she uses a kitchen knife.

[@AminaAbdulRahaman-e9d]

If I won't search a tools where can I get some.

[@HydraulicJackandPump]

Very good, How can contact you

[@johnr5545]

Thanks god bless

[@gorak9000]

How does this video have comments from 4 months ago that are completely whack and not related to the video, when it was released 1 hour ago?

[@lifeinusa6794]

Nice video very helpful and funny 💪🫶👍

[@HectorFabela-k6u]

Look up the Burndy Patriot 750 T3. Now that is crimping.

[@electrolatif]

The hydraulic are the best, you dont try it in your video 😮. I use many year the strongest.

[@worlboss2844]

I 💯 percent agree

[@jerryariz70]

How much that crimping tool. I'm entersted

[@jerryariz70]

I'm entersted

[@chundertunts6168]

Too much random clips. Just wanna get to the point

[@HectorFabela-k6u]

Indent crimpers are not the best way to go. They work fine for a DIY job though.

[@nickrodriguez7293]

Looks like crap but it works

[@Handirifle]

Good video, but keep stripping wire with your thumb under that blade and you WILL someday need stitches.

[@ifyouhaventbeenthere]

Ok “DAD” 😂

[@american7169]

Nope, solder it. Do it right first time. Also dont buy those expensive connectors, use copper tubing. Smash 1 end and drill hole. Your all welcome.

[@scod3908]

Solder is not the correct way and can be dangerous. If the connection gets hot from corrosion etc the solder melts and you have a live wire loose and exposed. Your DIY terminal/lug is not plated and will corrode, which is also not ideal, especially if you soldered it

[@assface199]

@@scod3908 Funny - worked for 20+ years at an Automotive Component Mfg. All large lugs were soldered, and battery terminals (lead) were molded onto the cables.

[@nigelgoodwin6954]

Solder every time. From my 30 years working on battery electric forklift’s.

[@fcolon1976]

Problem with that crimper is that the thickest wire it will do is up to 2 gauge
