Tool help required - Wire crimper.

[AxlFoley]

during my drive to busfest I realised my wiring really needs sorting out, it was like a disco with odd lights flashing on and off!

I have a wire crimper, but its not the best

same as this

http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-pro215-wire-stripper-cutter-crimper" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but the wires still come off sometimes if they are stiff, what I want is something that will give a factory tight grip on the wires.

has anyone got one that works well ?

Thanks

Mark

Mark,

I have one of the racket crimpers like the one pictured in the photo above, but with red handle. it allows you to crimp, red blue and yellow insulated terminals. I also have a standard crimper that you use to properly crimp on spade ends.

both you can borrow for free i know, what a guy.

maybe pop them up to you at some point in the bus? or if you are down this way...
