I have found out that you need 3 people to properly crimp 1/0 gauge. 1 guy puts the wire in the terminal and then holds it in the air then come the tricky part. 2 other guys with sledge hammers in hand have to swing their sledges at the same time so that they hit together crimping the 1/0 gauge tight. This method is best done drunk!
