Building a new wiring loom for the bike and it uses crimps like these to join 1 wire to 3 wires.
Any suggestions on a suitable W style crimping tool?
Asked TE but they were no use and instead suggested X thousand floor mounted pneumatic tool.......despite being told it was for in situ use...
Saw these: 'W' form Crimp tool suitable for Sumitomo, Amp Superseal & other connectors NEW | eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282054260741 but not sure of their quality and ideally fancy a ratchet set for better quality.
Looking for a balance between cost and quality given its only for personal projects and not used too often.

Can't you use a more conventional crimp and tool?

What bike is it out of interest?

Its a GPZ900R
Issue is it goes from 1 wire to 3 in various parts of the loom (nor just in one location) and the OEM loom uses pigtail splices like these to achieve that (albeit wrapped in blue tape...bit shonky tbh....I was going to crimp and heatshrink, don't want to solder due to the vibration)
I need something that doesn't have a lot of bulk to it due to being on a bike and the loom passing through some narrow sections when it gets refitted

I'd solder personally and heatshrink . That will withstand any vibration.

I've done that on some of the joints on my Armstrong, and believe me that vibrates!

Solder will be fine in, I've wired old Brits that vibrate like mad and never had a solder joint fail.

Tbh I hate soldering, not great at it and just generally dislike doing it, whereas I find crimping quite...therapeutic...yeah I'm odd for sure....

Nothing wrong with that. Stick to your comfort zone.
