Is this crimper a bad idea?

I've seen that place mentioned many times. Good stuff AFAIK (I have not used them).

I yeah I just did a search and see them mentioned now. Thanks.

I think maybe I’ll send all that Amazon crap back and get some good premade cable from this place, if I can measure everything correctly.

Sorry for all the flailing around. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t want to burn up the van with bad crimps and lots of amps.

When you're all done crank up the system to 100% and measure the voltage drop across the entire system then each component in the system.

The higher the voltage drop the more heat the connection will generate. Loose wires and bad crimps will tell on themselves pretty quickly during this sort of test.

I use temco hydraulic and temco lugs. You can buy direct from them with free shipping. Someone put an ebay store earlier.

Direct from Timco storefront might be cheaper.

eBay takes their blood money, at least it was cheaper to order directly from windy nation vs their eBay storefront, same exact order.

I would use what you bought unless you plan to return it. My bet it will work fine.
