I don't see what's wrong with crimps...

Never bothered to buy a ratchet tool though, I just squeeze the crimp with pliers and wrap it in tape to stop it falling apart...

You just love to wind us up don't you.... :rofl:

Wor Lass used those regularly in her younger days.

I could stand corrected but I've always been told that crimped connections were preferable impedance wise (although most methods are going to be fairly negligible). Still the OCD in me would probably replace the run if possible.

Dare I suggest you look for crimping in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary?
