I think the colours are handy if you don't keep them stored by size.

The last lot of 0.75mm I bought we blue.

They are dead handy things to have.

And if you have knipex installation pliers, they'll do all the sizes up to 2.5mm

I do have those pliers. The crimp on them relies on your own judgment on crimping tight enough?

So it's best to pick a scheme and get used to it?

I sort them by size in an organizer so I don't care about schemes, I just but what my wholesaler had.

Common sizes. 0.75mm for lighting, 1.5mm for flexes in plugs, 4mm, 10mm and 16mm for tidying up the end of earth's and the stranded cpc in 10mm cables.

2.5mm if you use a lot of 2.5mm SWA
 
thought ferrules were only used for for fine stranded, not general 7 strand conductors. however, can't see a problem using them for 7 strand.

The difference between the two schemes is the colours used to identify size. The reality is though as far as I'm aware, most sizes are available in the various colours, but the scheme's make it easy to identify size.

Any chance you could delete 2 of the identical posts above by myself SC? Don't know what happened there! :confused:

Is that just based on visually looking at them to determine the size?

that's a nice kit of ferrules there. you might manage to use them all if you outlive me and pete 999. :D:D:D. i particularly like the double ferrules. very usefull. think i have about 50 of them.
 
I think I may try and sort all mine out. I have loads of crimps and ferrules, different colour arrangements. Have 2 crimpers and a hex one for ferrules
 
This is what I have. It seems it's a mixture of different colour variations.

I think I may get a container with more compartments and arrange them in a easier format.

I have a separate box for ring crimps and copper lug crimps that box earlier is for my controls work mainly with cy cables and flexes I've also got my numbers in there.
