#11177, "RE: Rockford Crimp Ring Question" In response to In response to 6
Originally posted by Star Turbo Talon soldering those things is easy. Miller i have no idea why you dont like solding wire to copper it works easy. Put the ring terminal in a vise upside down so it id like a cup. hea the terminal with a propane torch or a "Blazer" (alum blazing torch). when it reaches the right temp start adding solder to the wire cup and fill it 3/4 of the way. Next take your stripped wire and carefully put it into the terminal. withthe heat still on the terminal take the solder and tin any stripped wire that is exposed. Let cool and heat shrink. Or be a choad and smash it. the crimper for these terminals is only 30.00 at ace hardware. Look by the welding equipment. Terry
Because those:
1. Look better. 2. Work just as well. 3. Take 2 minutes to put on.
