vdotmatrix	Posted - 07/25/2019 : 17:43:57 I think this is an 8ga cable onto a beefy butt connector. My KLEIN lineman pliers just barely made a dent on the connector. Would I want to hit it with a punch? https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/hamo5HqITsCQZpnrd5q1AA.Nmt0LN3QBDyCTmP25F4hIO

vdotmatrix	Posted - 07/26/2019 : 04:46:11 Thanks, as you can see i improvised with a vice., if it ever fails, i can easily start over. quote: Originally posted by TakeFive A decent set of ratcheted crimpers is always a good thing to have around. You just can't get the right compression from any type of pliers.
