Their are manufacturers who will imply that their crimps will safely
join solid copper conductors, They dont.

Insulated Crimps are only for Stranded copper cable, not Solid Copper
as is found in domestic Flat Twin Cables.

What about stranded twin & earth? It is standard for sizes 4mm^2 and above
and optional for 1.5 and 2.5mm^2.
