AMZCNC Industrial Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper

I have built many battery cables with this hydraulic crimper and I get a perfect crimp almost every time. The only time I don’t get a good crimp is when I use very cheap and thin copper battery lugs.

Klein Wire Stripper – 6-12 AWG

I like this wire stripper a lot. I have used it many times making cables. This one is for wire size 6-12AWG. I have another one for smaller wire.

Klein Wire Stripper – 10-20 AWG

This is a recent purchase that I made to strip smaller wire. So far it is working well.

BougeRV Solar Crimper Tool Kit

Watch the video where I build solar extension cables with this kit

I have used this kit to make seral solar extension wires with MC4 connectors.

Windy Nation Battery Cables

I have used Windy Nation for almost all of the battery cables and lugs I work with. I typically buy directly from their website which has free shipping and free 2-day shipping for orders over $29.99. Their wire is flexible and high quality.

AstroAI Digital Clamp Meter Multimeter

A multi-meter and clamp meter is essential when working with DIY solar. You need to be able to measure voltage and amperage. This AstroAI Digital Clamp Meter Multimeter has worked well for me. It is not as precise as the much more expensive brands. But this gets the job done.
