Anyone with a crimper in GTA ?
 
I need to crimp 3 terminals and thought I might drive to somebody or a shop to crimp the terminals for me. I'm in Milton, so closest to me is Brampton, Mississauga and Oakville, let me know if you can help me out.
it's 2 4awg terminals and 1 8awg...

Hammer + screwdriver is your friend.

Follow it up with some solder if you are still displeased.

haha, yeah, would rather drive to someone with a crimper to crimp it good all around, and I'll pass on the solder

There really isn't much more to say, is there?

Vise + 1/2" alan wrench = done. it's the same thing...actually it's probably better! I would solder it anyways. SAFETY FIRST!!!!!!

I would say hammer or vice. I used a 20 y/o hammer the last time I needed to make terminals. Worked well.
