How To Crimp Battery Cables EASY with Cheap DIY Hydraulic Tool

I had to crimp battery lugs on a cable that was already installed in my car. I couldn't use the hammer method, so I made a hydraulic crimper to finish the job. Of course it was tested for pull strength or at least the crimp can support my body weight.
If you aren't comfortable with this DIY method, then just buy a hydraulic crimp tool. They have come way down in price as I'm sure they are imports.
