Crimping just one or two 25mm2 copper tube terminals - how?

tinnews · 2011-06-04T09:08:19+00:00

I have proper ratchet crimp tools for everything up to 16mm2 coppertube terminals but no larger.I need to crimp some 25mm2 copper tube terminals, probably only fouror so of them, can anyone suggest a reliable way to do this? I can'treally justify the price of a crimp tool that does this size.I have seen an illustration (in a boatowner's book) of a simple jigfor large cable sizes which you used a hammer on to crimp the cable, Ido have a vice available where the wires need crimping so might beable to use that with a suitable jig or former.Any ideas anyone?

I do all that but charring or shrinkage of the pvc insulation is still quite common.
