B Style Battery Terminal Crimper

[8WA Sman]

I recently purchased a handheld OEM style B crimper to

replace the battery cable positive terminal on a late model

F-150. I used this crimper http://www.sargen...l_B_Crimp_Terminals/ [sargenttools.com]

I wish this pic was better

quality but...

 

 

Here is the crimp I made with the tool

 

 

Voltage drop between B+ and the starter so as to validate the repair.

The was peak voltage drop during actual cranking it was closer to .25 volts

 

 

 

The part # for the terminal is BT4Z-14450-AA. This is

actually listed for a MKX/Edge & the only difference

that I found was the nut size.

I kinda like that. I wish Ford would make that a supplied tool. Where did you buy it?

Looks like the same crimp made by my VERY old spark plug wire crimp tool, used back when we actually made custom spark plug wire sets.

I bought one of these a couple years ago. I've used it a couple times and it works really well.
