At home I use a crimper the size of a large lock cutter with rotating dies that crimps everything from 6 gauge to 3/0 gauge.
The crimper crimps ring terminals down on welding cables that will be used in high vibration and will be getting flexed and pretty much everything else.
Also works great on SB175 connectors.
I usually just crimp them in the middle so there is a smooth transition between flexible cable and the crimp, because I found when they are crimped all the way to the end of the lug strands break like crazy.
Plus I need something a little more portable than a shop press.
