I tried tinning the wires (soldering), but that made the wire brittle and tended to break at the end of the tinned section. One thing I forgot to mention is that I made sure that there was some insulated portion inserted near the end of the terminal for the crimper to grab onto. If you don't do that, then the wire will be taking all the stress and I found it would break REALLY easily. |

How does this look for a nice crimping tool? This place is right down the road from me: http://shop.vetcosurplus.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=36_42&products_id=1030 |

$30 seems high, but it looks better than the one I use. Grab this if you don't have one: LINK |

I have a stripper, but it isn't nearly as bad-ass as that one. :) |

I got my QwikStrip at Walmart for $13. It has been one of my favorite tools ever. |
