Hi All,

Well time to start replacing my battery and windlass 2/0 cables. Now
time to decide which brand lug crimpers I should get.

I do not want to get the hammer types.

I saw some Ancor crimpers for about $200. They seemed pretty good.
Just as long as a brand are under $250 Ill be happy. I know there
arent many yachties in the electrical industry and was wondering what
brand crimpers industrial guys use.

What do you recomend?
Bob

Buy your cable from the guy on ebay from Auburn Wa and he will lug
them for you.

There is a tool company especially for electricians. Klein. They sell
the stuff at electrical supply stores,

I make it a habit to check eBay for stuff like this. Sometimes you get
seriously lucky.
