Good Video. You show the good ,the bad and the ugly, LOL Also you back up what you are doing with cutting the connections apart to show that they are good. Thanks
Thanks for that. I have just returned a 6mm to 50mm mechanical crimper due to it creating those little side wings on the terminal's. I won't buy another hydraulic crimper after having a brand new one fail straight out of the box due to leaking fluid. I have been wondering how well the indent type work and that cut lug using a larger terminal looks like they work very well, I will be buying one this week, thanks again.
I have not been able to find anything like that large cable crimper you prefer. Do you have a manufacturer or model number? Great video, thanks for the work you put in to it!
It would be interesting to do both electrical tests and pull tests on these crimps. I suspect the indent crimps are solid and probably fine for most uses, but I believe they make a weaker connection as they bend and displace the conductors more than a hex crimper. And I find a proper hex crimp to look much more professional. To me an indent crimp just screams amateur. If you look at almost any commercially crimped connector, the crimp is almost always hexagonal or circular. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an automated machine crimp that was of the indent style. I may be wrong, but I suspect a good hex crimp will run cooler under high current and will withstand more mechanical stress.
_Something_ (was that what you wanted me to write?) I was hoping this was going to be about smaller gauge wires from 26AWG and up or is it down o around 14AWG? I have to use 26AWG and put ferrules on them for a 5V or is it 3V LED project I am working on and I am a complete numpty with wires and electron stuff.
I'm thinking the hydraulic one even though it's very slow would be good if you're in an awkward position trying to crimp because that it would allow you to set the wire and crimp properly
Solder is not the correct way and can be dangerous. If the connection gets hot from corrosion etc the solder melts and you have a live wire loose and exposed. Your DIY terminal/lug is not plated and will corrode, which is also not ideal, especially if you soldered it
Excellent video I like the fact that you were able to cut the crimps open and prove your work
I love the humor. Well done!
This is what i was looking for.

Simple and easy to understand. U definitely working hard by the look of your fingers 😢..thank you soo much

It's a very informative video that is easy to understand.
thanks for the useful video! the music sometimes feels a little funny though hahaha
thanks for your comment😅😀
thanks for the video and information . entertaining and helpful
Great examples, thank you

why does crimping have to be ultra fast??? the hydraulic one does a great job

Enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the comment, very nice of you!😀

Excellent. five out of five stars.
If you aren’t going to use proper strippers then use a slice/slash resistant glove as ppe when using a knife to remove insulation
Id like to see an insert i could use in my vise.
thank u very much
very useful
If I won't search a tools where can I get some.
Thank you!
Nice video very helpful and funny 💪🫶👍
Thanks god bless
The hydraulic are the best, you dont try it in your video 😮. I use many year the strongest.
I 💯 percent agree
Look up the Burndy Patriot 750 T3. Now that is crimping.
How does this video have comments from 4 months ago that are completely whack and not related to the video, when it was released 1 hour ago?
How much that crimping tool. I'm entersted
I'm entersted
Very good, How can contact you
Too much random clips. Just wanna get to the point
Good video, but keep stripping wire with your thumb under that blade and you WILL someday need stitches.
Indent crimpers are not the best way to go. They work fine for a DIY job though.

Nope, solder it. Do it right first time. Also dont buy those expensive connectors, use copper tubing. Smash 1 end and drill hole. Your all welcome.

Your DIY terminal/lug is not plated and will corrode, which is also not ideal, especially if you soldered it
Problem with that crimper is that the thickest wire it will do is up to 2 gauge
