I notice CPC have a crimp tool for bootleg ferrules in their
latest sale catalogue. Well, it made me smile anyway... ;-)

:-)

More details please!

It's a malapropism for "bootlace ferrules," small crimpable metal
sleeves used to make off tidily the ends of stranded electric wires in
preparation for connection to screw terminals.

And bootlaces, of course!

And points, when they're called aiglets.
