Yeah 8 is a lot of work compared to 10awg. And 99% of the time absolutely not needed.
With that being said, I used 8AWG wire with 8AWG MC4 connectors with proper 8AWG MC4 crimpers. Solely because I wanted to, it’s way more than my relatively small RV system needs and 10awg would’ve been 100% sufficient.
MC4’s were from Staubli and crimping tools and dies were from Rennsteig (German = $$$).
If you want to do it the correct way for 8AWG you’ll pay 
But I sure do have a unique setup haha

You might wanna offer your tools up for rental in the for sale forum. Charge full replacement price as a deposit, then charge rental fee weekly, out of the deposit and return the balance when tools come back undamaged.Yeah 8 is a lot of work compared to 10awg.
