Which brand #8-4/0 Lug Crimper?
 

Hi All,

Well time to start replacing my battery and windlass 2/0 cables. Now
time to decide which brand lug crimpers I should get.

I do not want to get the hammer types.

I saw some Ancor crimpers for about $200. They seemed pretty good.
Just as long as a brand are under $250 Ill be happy. I know there
arent many yachties in the electrical industry and was wondering what
brand crimpers industrial guys use.

What do you recomend?

Buy your cable from the guy on ebay from Auburn Wa and he will lug
them for you.

the stuff at electrical supply stores,
