Wire Terminals

Does anyone know where I can find set screw wire terminals for either 4 or 0 gauge wire?

The only the other option i can think of besides using the screw type terminal would be to use the regular crimp type terminal and solder the crimp [having a little trouble getting a good crimp]...

thanks for any suggestions

I used crimp terminals for my battery re-location with 0 gauge welding cable. You can find the big crimp terminals in the welding section of princess auto.

To get enough leverage to get a good crimp use BIG channel locks or a table vice.

Thanks for the feedback ...The idea of using a hammer was in the back of my mind till i read your post..

I busted out a huge pair of channel lock pliers, crimped the terminal, and soldered just incase [buddy's car-not mine]..
