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.

 

I just use a hammer and a floor(concrete) has yet to let me down!! screw the crimp tool, money not so well wasted

 

hammer? you should be able to crimp it with plyers.

 

Yuli, im surprised you didn't say your bare hands!! lol jk

 

princess auto has some if i remember right. aint cheap for 4g down to 0guage. over 100 i beleive it was

a vice and hammer is good enough or a floor and hammer

 

try it with your bare hands. i do it.

 

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!

 

I use my teeth! I've been brushing with that enamel hardening tooth paste for 40 years now...it works!
