Crimping Furutech FP203R spades


Hi All,
Quick question; Have any of you crimped Furutech FP203(R) spades, what did you use for a crimping tool?
Thanks for any input, these are very nice spades, heavy duty! My Klein rachet crimpers are no match for the FP203(R) spades.

Use TC. For less than the cost of a crimper it will sound better even if you use ordinary pliers. Heck you could whack it with a hammer and do better as long as you get some TC in there.
Thanks MC,
What do you refer to as "TC"?
Is that a bonding enhancer or sealer?
Thanks
Total Contact.. enhancer. good stuff..

I use small amounts of Nuclear Never Seize. Nickel/silver/Gl paste,
works good also.. Don't over do it..

Regards
I haven't done the hydraulic press thing (I didn't look for a tool).  I do know these FP-203 spades are impossible to crimp with normal tools.  I have always used the FP-201 spades instead.  They have screw-down clamps to hold the speaker wire, and you can still apply solder through a hole at the top.  Just make sure you use a larger 2mm tip and crank the heat up to max (like 450 degree C).  Be patient because it takes a little bit for the spade to heat up (it's a giant heat sink).
