Getting the click can be difficult.
Ive sucessfully gotten 8 awg into 45 amp powerpoles.
And they pass 41 amps without getting hot. Warm perhaps.
To get the satisfying click, after insertion, I grab wire with needlenose vice grips about 3 mm from my plastic, place plastic against some oak and push.
Its either ' whohooo!!!' Upon the click, Or 'gaddang each and every aspect of everything' when wire bends in half and pulls wire from crimp, and I get to.start over. Sometimes tools get thrown.
I think the anderson crimper could be well worth it as with some different available dies, it will do standard crimp connections..
