Where can I find this crimp tool?
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..? |

That's for pre-insulated crimps (although Screwfix bizarrely describe it as being for co-ax). What the OP wants is for uninsulated, or "post-crimp insulated" terminals. You should find this at RS, but Vehicle Wiring Products are probably the cheapest and all-round best. Make sure you get one with a ratchet, not the simple pressed-sheet sort like the original picture. |

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. |
