The ring connectors that connect to my battery are the type where you can see the cable strands on the ring side of the connector. If I wiggle the cable, the strands on the ring side move. My unde...

Sorry, no longer have the tool, returned it for a credit. As I said, I ended up soldering all my connections.

If you guys have the time, it would be really interesting to see the measurement across the flats for all the Mic-120 dies and the Quick Crimp 250 dies.
Interestingly enough, the Quick Crimp 250 seems to have MM2 number setting too. I wonder if the die sizes match up to the quick Crimp?
AWG....MM2.............Quick Crimp 250(Cast Lugs)...Quick Crimp 250(Tube Lugs)
8.......10....................Grey/25................................
6.......16....................Grey/25..................................
4.......25....................Grey/25.................................16
2.......35....................Green/30................................Grey/25
1/0.....50....................Pink/30 (Green?)...................Grey/25
2/0.....70(13.43mm)..Orange 70...............................Pink 30
3/0.....95(15.74mm)..Purple 71...............................Black 50
4/0....120..................Yellow 120..............................Orange 70
Note: (AB.CDmm) is across flats when compressed.
I also found some ID/OD Lug measurements for NORCO lugs:
Size.....ID............OD
4/0...0.56(14.22).....0.77(19.56) (Hefty/Hefty - thick Copper tube)
4/0...0.66(16.76).....0.84(21.33) (Cast battery terminals (post clamp)
4/0...0.62(15.75)..... -- ............(Hefty/Hefty - thick Copper tube)
4/0...0.56(14.22)..... -- ............(Seamless copper tube)
CVJeff:
Assuming the MM2 70 die has the same measurement as the Quck Cable Orange 70 die it looks like you ended up using the suggested die for a tube style lug. I suspect that's what you have there since there's a flare at the end. I'm pretty sure the thicker cast ones have a bevel.
