Title says it all, where do I buy a 4 gauge crimp tool in Toronto? Is there any way to crimp without such a tool? Called homedepot/canadian tire, they don't have it!

Doing my install on sat, so I need it before then, otherwise I'd order online...

Thx.

Vice, hammer and chisel, hammer, auto electric shop,....vice and solder have always worked for me.

Wow, thanks for all of the reply's guys. It really does seem like a waste to spend $50 to crimp like 6 connections...

How do you use a vise and hammer? Can someone elaborate? I've used plyers before, but they don't exert enough force for bigger terminals.

Can you use a vise to close the wire all together?

I don't have a vice, maybe a small clamp one, will that do the job?

Thanks for the tips guys, saving me a bundle!
