Crimpage

Got a new toy recently - a hydraulic crimper. All the instructions are in Chinese so possible it might not last long as it wasn't expensive however it's very very satisfying to use.

I'm crimping my own battery cables (50mm squared for the starter/positive run from battery at rear and negative to chassis) which means standard spade terminal crumpets aren't big enough.

Enter the big one - can't remember how much force it can exert but it's in the tonnes. Crimps anything from 2.5mm squared to 70mm squared.

The result is beautiful hexagonal crimps.

And if made my first battery cable.
