First off, this happened about a decade ago but I remember it like yesterday. I needed to do 6 cadwelds and 2 crimps for grounding a water storage tank and was told to get supplies from Lee Electric. When I told the people behind the counter what I needed to do, they ordered and charged the company I worked for at the time for 6 cadweld molds, shots for the cadwelds, a couple of crimp connectors, the heavy duty crimping tool, 200 feet of 2 gauge bare copper wire. Cadweld molds needed to be ordered. I asked if I could possibly just borrow or rent the crimp tool since I only needed it for 2 crimps. I could have literally had it returned in 10 minutes. I was told (pretty rudely) that the company I worked for had plenty of money and they would need to purchase the crimp tool at approximately $285. OK not my money, not going to argue. 2 weeks later when the 6 cadweld molds came in I figured out that only one mold is needed to perform multiple cadwelds. They made me purchase 6 molds when I only needed 1. I don’t remember the exact price for each mold but I wanna say they were around $50 each.
