spake thusly in uk.d-i-y:

For years I've had one of these cheap crimp tools, :
www.electricstuff.co.uk/temp/Img_4067.jpg
which is an excellent 'generic' tool for things like molex 0.1 and 0.156" connector housing pins as
well as many other types of similar size.
I want another one to grind down to use for smaller crimps with shorter crimp lengths,, but can't
find one anywhere.
I think mine originally came from the now defunct Electrospeed/Verospeed, and cost about a tenner
The only identifying mark is "Made in Sweden"
Mine is the lower of the 2 in the pic - the other is a very worn one I found in a pile of tools I
picked up at a factory liquidation. Both have the same markings.

I'd prefer a UK source but will look further if necessary....

I've looked at RS, Farnell, CPC and Rapid with no joy - any ideas..?
Even a suggestion of what manufacture of thses things lives in Sweden..?

Not the one from Sweden, but I have one of these from Amp Inc:

Might make an alternative if you can't find the Swedish manuf.

Does down to the small spade tags used on trimphones (crimp ends up
about 3/4 of a mm dia.)
