    TEMCo Terminal Crimper 6 AWG to 4/0 and bigger - good Choice????

    After a long search and countless reviews I am seriously considering this lug crimper.
    Anyone have it or used it? Comments?

    BTW - this is the best price I have found.

    TEMCo has lots of other items(PV wire, other wire, lugs, welding cable, etc.. and good prices too from what I have found.

    Thoughts?

    Good crimper but there are clones on eBay for less than $50.

    The temco is supposed to be a really nice crimper. When I did my solar/lithium upgrade I considered it, but ended up just going with a hammer/anvil crimper instead for like $20. I could not justify spending that much money for a tool I would use so infrequently. If I was doing this weekly I would surely have bought it. There is a great forum for solar stuff : diysolarforum.com and they do discuss the temco crimper on that site. The founder of that forum - Will Prowse thinks highly of it.

    I bought a similar one from Amazon for half the price and it has worked well, I was very pleased with the tool quality and it has a wide variety of dies for the various wire sizes.

    I would recommend this tool...

    PS: I just considered the tool as part of the project cost, it was much easier to justify spending the additional money on the proper tool.

    I have had good luck with the Iwiss brand tools from Amazon, good quality and low prices.

    That's the one I got. I don't use it enough to justify spending a lot more. The Amazon ones look OK too. With the Harbor Freight 20% coupon it was hard to pass that one up.
