That seems to get an effective crimp, but I'd probably want to run a high amperage voltage drop test on it (and also check for heating). MIght work good when your options are limited. I probably have a couple thousand dollars invested in crimping tools, but my favorite is one of those Hammer Lug Crimpers you can get for about $14. If you hit it hard enough, you get a great cold weld. It's epecically useful because every manufacturer of cable lug seems to use a different wall thickness, and not every 4 AWG wire is actually 4 AWG.
Thanks for looking at my video. I was just shocked at what a stereo shop called a crimp. lol. It was a terrible job. So I had to make a video about how I did mine.
Waiting on my 4 gauge kit to come in I’m super excited this video helped a lot thanks!
Glad I could help! Thanks for viewing and commenting!!
That was awesome
Thanks for watching!!!!!!
I did that same thing and it failed horribly. It only crimped down one of the two wings after making that little opening for the chisel to rest in.

Good idea! I gotta do mine this weekend. I'm gonna do this and use ferrules at the other end.
Glad I could help!!
@Miguel Brochu Glad I could help! I decided to make the video just before leaving to go install them.
