Can this tool put a really good crimp on 2 GA copper lug with copper wire for high amperage power delivery?

I have only used mine for 2 GA battery wire on my car and it did a great job so I don't see why it wouldn't do just as good a job for you. The die's that come with it are metric but it is easy to cross over. This is a great tool for the money and sure saves the hands from all the hard squeezing. Hope this helps. John

Yes, but check your gauges, when you are using high amperage gauges of wire you might be outside the sizing of this tool. What the tool does is pretty simple, but might not work for really hard wire.

I bought this crimper months ago. Yes, many a #2 crimp later, still working fine. Recomnent you bevel and polish the edges of dies, so the crimp doesn't leave sharp cuts or burrs on connector. Also put a small drop of glue in diie sockets to retain magnets.

Have not tried it for your application. Hence, not sure. Should work it the copper is not finished.

If you do not have heavier crimping equipment, I'd either fold the wire over, then insert it in the "fingers" and crush them with a hammer, or IMHO the better option would be solder and a torch.

I am not aware of this tool being able to be used for copper, I would think they must have a specialized tool to crimp those rings? I'm not a plumber but I would say to do some more searching.

This will feed/run anything you care to run with it. Most amps overstate or misrepresent their true power (i.e. listing uncertified max wattage instead of rms wattage) so it's hard to make a blanket statement, but check your amp's recommended power wire gauge. This product should be sufficient to meet that AWG requirement, and is true copper (avoid cheaper "copper clad" kits).

It can handle 14 gauge wire just make sure you have the right kind of crimpers

this is not a cutting tool it is for crimping wire terminals on to copper and aluminum electrical wire , take look at the die its flat for smashing like a vice definitely Not design to cut anything good luck .

It's worked as well or better than any crimp tool I've ever used. No problems whatsoever.

Yes, you can crimp with standard crimper. Before you crimp, you need to trim the excess wires, then pull wires back inside the plug and crimp.

I think it has more than enough power, most lug nuts require 100# + or - torque to tighten the lugs, this thing has 300#. I use mine to remove the lugs and they spin right off, even after they were put on at a tire store. I use a torque wrench to tighten them up for the proper torque. I really like mine, the trigger works well but the sockets are hard to remove. I don't think you would regret purchasing this wrench, lots of power and easy to maneuver, no air hose to drag around and can be carried anywhere.

It depends on how large your 4 channel amp is. Check and add up the fuses in your amp, If it adds up less than 120A then you're good to go. If it is more you will need either solid copper 4 ga or a 2/0 guage kit.

Should work perfectly fine with 2 gauge wire. They were a little tight with monster 0 gauge, which is a little oversized, but the allen bolts go all the way inside which should 2 gauge wire with no issues.

I bought them for wire leader. I also found them too large and bought a pair of electrical strippers/crimpers that worked great. I was doing light work with 10 pound test and small #2 barrel crimps.

22ga is a little small for this crimper. Smallest I worked with was 18 and 20ga. With such small wires/connectors I needed to work the crimp with some pliers after using this tool. there are several dies, so perhaps I was using the wrong one. Will probably work, but not a perfect crimp.

Should work, the copper wire is designed for use with transformers up to 600W+.

only if you sweat pex fittings to the copper pipe, then use this tool to crimp the the pex pipe.

Sure. I believe this is 16 gage wire but you could use a red or blue crimp connector, or better yet, solder and heat shrink.
