For years I've had one of these cheap crimp tools, :

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..?

I get crimp tools and cable accessories in general from
www.thecrimpcompany.co.uk - they specialise in crimping and tools are
excellent quality. The Swedish company you mention may be Elpress whose
tools are available on The Crimpcompany site or go to
www.elpress-uk.com for more information. Would be surprised if you get
a decent quality tool for a tenner though!

Hope this helps.
