Bootlace Ferrule crimper

[a-z electrics]

Ratchet insulated crimp tool from TLC .. DV DHCR15. Cable range 1.5 - 6mm. £11.90
I used these recently for red bootlace ferrules to terminate in a gas boiler. Very easy to use and give a neat result.

That is not the right tool for the style of crimp, it is always best to use the correct tool (although I am guilty of this sort of thing myself!).

OK, sorry I stand corrected.. Probably the correct one would be the DV DCER510 for £19.95 then? They look fairly decent and it is these type I think I have in hindsight..

yes there ferrule crimpers but non ratchet ones are better, you can feel when they have crimped properly

These look pretty decent and I've only been able to compare by sight. Haven't had the occasion to need them yet but these will be the ones I get. I love crimping and I love riveting - is it just me?

I've just given you a thanks, because by chance when I looked on eBay a few minutes ago, I managed to win one of these that was ending in 3 mins, at just £1.24. Hopefully it will turn up, and not be lost in the post!

I was debating a smiley, but, I believed that those who know, knew!

It was a deliberate comment designed to generate this.

I am bilingual when it comes to bootlaces, where I learned about such things was in a manufacturing environment with a LARGE German influence and VERY LITTLE French influence, there were a lot of Blue Ovals around IYKWIM.
Then I actually worked for a German control systems company...

However, now I've been on my "own" for over 10 years (with a little bit before) and my local "industrial" wholesaler stocks Froggie colours, I've had to become bi-lingual!
