    Ferrule clamping

    I've had a pair of these CK crimpers for around 8 years, They'll do all sizes upto 16 mm and I think with nothing to go wrong or break on them they'll last a very long time Cost around £23 if you're sensible and shop around

    Gas soldering iron for heatshrink?

    With the gas torch generally they are very limited on flame / heat adjustment it's easy to burn the heat shrink if you you don't move the flame about, I tend to keep it moving but aim off to the side of the heatshrink, but a heat gun will do exactly the same on a high setting, Using low...

    Jst crimping tool

    So the crimper arrived, quality is better than the cheapo versions you can buy and I've tried them and they do a reasonable job of it but you do have to be quite careful to get it right, so for my purpose they'll be adequate

    Jst crimping tool

    I've been told Japan is good for tools but I know for a fact it's difficult to buy a lot of items in china , I didn't see any tools and asked some of the factory workers they didn't really know where you could get them I was told this is because no manufacturer wants to sell...

    Jst crimping tool

    Marvo thanks for that I've just ordered a knipex pliers similar to the facom so I'll give then a try, hopefully they'll be good enough and as they have the strippers and bolt cutting aspect could well replace my wire strippers which would be good weight wise! Thanks to all for the...

    Jst crimping tool

    If they're never used it kind of suggests something about the quality of this make, had a US trip recently and looked at some klein gear and wasn't all that impressed tbh
