which crimps for domestic

[chrisreid186]

hi guys can anyone recommend a decent set of crimps for domestic wiring, mainly twin and earth cable,
tried roleson but really don't trust them because the cable is easily pulled apart, or maybe i pull a bit to hard?

They may work once or twice if you whack them with a lump hammer. Any ratchet crimper will do the job well, even cheap ones

Its been mentioned , i think the main issue is crimps rather than the tool
we want to buy as cheap as possible and think they are all going to be the same quality. I stopped using cheap screws, plugs and electi tape a few years ago and will never look back. Have started to use helacons etc and this new technology is great.
We need to find out who makes GOOD crimps more than who make good crimpers !

I use the crimps which they sell in the wholesalers.
I think they're SWA, so my SWA crimpers work fine, just fine.

I got the crimps with the Newlwc crimp tool and the plastic insulation is nice and tough unlike some off the cheaper types

also i notice some people do not know how to crimp correctly . A friend of mine never gets good tight connections
