Marine wire

[Brassman]

I am one of the bad boys. I have used a hammer crimper, and they work well if you know what you are doing. You can fuse the wires together and ten some, like a quarter plus inch up the cable. Which is bad. Or you don't pound enough and the wires aren't fused in the terminal. But it can work well if you know what a proper crimp is. I've got a 12 volt house system, and as far as I know, that's not NEC. But in the NEC, it's the listed terminal in it's listed crimper. For the 12 volts, I'll just swing the sledge.
