UK Bootlace ferrules

[John-]

Hi. Bootlace ferrules for consumer units terminations. Yes or no? Multi stranded cables only that is and not for putting rings together (periodic testing issues).

Do you use them?

What about on the tails into the board?

Cheers

While 13A plugs and pendant light fittings might well cope with fine-stranded wire, I find they cut mush of it unless you can double it up. One of the uninsulated ferrules results in a wire that looks as if it could be used a 2nd time!

I have a pack of these rattling around in the van for such occasions.

Same here... I probably use more uninsulated that insulated.

Excellent work, was it photoshop?
I have never seen babe station switched for family friendly viewing as well as that.

p.s. interesting to note that you dont use the top lace holes in your boots. I dont either, is it a common thing do you think or are we both just a little strange??

We are all a little strange then.

Nope, don't use top holes in my site boots either

No, for real.

As you keenly observed, I don't use the top lace holes so end up with 6ft of excess lace so I thought I'd trim the overage and apply bootlace ferrules curtesy of my newly acquired £20 crimper.

Mr Quality was the brand and despite the name, the counter nominative "professional" axiom does not apply here, they appear to be reasonably robust but only time will tell.
