The HF ratcheting crimpers didn’t make a tight enough crimp to hold a 14awg wire into a 14awg high temp non insulated terminal. they literally pulled right out. perhaps the pair I got is faulty? they worked ok on the bigger stuff, but I dont use alot of 12 or 10 awg wiring… The crimpers I linked have a point inside the grove that pinches the seam of a terminal perfectly. I have probably 50+ crimped connections (w/ adhesive lined heat shrink and rubber tape) in my cut down harness in the samurai which is fully exposed to rain/snow and I havent had one come loose yet. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/where-to-buy-wiring-supplies/259050)._
