I need to find someone that has an American Auto Wire 500665 crimper. I need someone to lay drill bits into the grooves and tell me the sizes. I have a hammer type crimper,but PITA to use on car. My thoughts are grind the 1/2 moons of the autowire crimper into the jaws of some old bolt cutters,for under hood use. I don't want to by a crimper and pay shipping just to get dimensions,may have to,don't want to.

Looking at the last picture, it looks like the hole is the OD of the lug + maybe 5%, up to 10% perhaps.

I have an inexpensive hydraulic Crimper that uses hex dies and works very well. Just to throw out there.

Don't know if this will help but it's worth a try -
