Hi everybody. Quick question: Do I need any adjustment to crimp #6 Ancor heavy duty lugs with FTZ correct crimp? Any advice is appreciated before I destroy whole bunch of them :)
I got FTZ heavy duty lugs for my #1 battery cable but could not find them in much smaller size. Thanks, Kristof

I tried my first crimp with FTZ lugs. It worked great but I had to calibrate the crimper and then adjust couple of times to get near "Maine Sail" quality. I needed to tighten it up beyond 15 inches between handles. Thanks again for all the shared knowledge!

Welcome to the forum.

I buy all of my FTZ crimps from Bay Marine Supply. www.baymarinesupply.com They have #6 and larger.
You can order them direct from BMS or order on Amazon. I normally buy direct from their website.

As you found you need to make adjustments when using non FTZ lugs. I thought the lugs were too expensive to play around with so I've settled on only FTZ brand with my FTZ crimper.
