Thread: Soldering parallel wires tips

My crimp tool will not handle a 6 gauge wire spice. Most cheap crimpers won't. I know this fact from past experiences. I just like to caution folks about improper crimping. There is nothing wrong with crimping. I crimp a lot of stuff.

I use heat shrink type terminal lugs on my boat when I can find them. Small town boy here.

The ones I used were for small stuff like DF and aerator pump. I bought some copper crimps for the heavy wire and then didn't have a tool that would crimp them. I prefer solder in most all cases, but the crimps were easy to do inside the boat.
