Bussmann fuse-holder crimping tool

[bassbone52]

I have these fuse holders in some parking lot light poles. What type of crimping tool do I need for use with #12 solid wire? Bussmann recommends a Stakon but it's about $200. What are my options? Thanks

If that is the manufacturers requirement that is what must be used, try looking online for used ones to save some money.

An option is this set which I have-

It has interchangeable dies so it's not just limited to one task.

IMHO, Crimping anything to solid wire will be problematic.

I'd trust twisting and soldering,then wrapping it with splicing tape and super33 myself.
