I'd not wish to try anything larger with those pliars though.
For 10 ga and smaller wires (10-12-14 ga) I have a die crimp tool, a ratcheting thing that produces a crimp that looks better than many factory crimps I've seen. It is specifically designed for anderson power poles but removing one piece lets me use it on any non-insulated lug of the proper size (Up to 10 ga).
