    battery lead crimping tool

    Need to buy a heavy duty battery lead crimping tool at work, and just wondered what peoples thoughts were between the hexagon or indent type tools?

    Hexagon works better with stranded cables

        I use an indent one for doing battery leads but iv got a few hexagonal ones that i use in work. I think the indent type hold thick stranded cable alot better like 16 or 22mm mains cable tails(this is what iv ran my rear battery cable in) but hexagonal looks better.

            In work I use the indent type then as Jon441 said with a big soldering iron give them a dab of solder.
