Hey, solar heads, you may not be an HF fan but I ran across this heavy-gauge hydraulic wire crimping tool today at Harbor Freight that might be worth a look. They also have a 20% discount coupon currently running which makes it a little more attractive.
 
Somebody reviewed that recently, and it wasn't good. The dies didnt even line up. Might have been JeepHammer.
 
The sizes of the dies are based on their own scheme, and they won't tell you what that is but it's sure not AWG/metric/mm/sqm.
 
Anvil sets to make the tool more useful would be nice.
I have this, and the 14ton version, and the dies make decent crimps, but finagling is needed...
