Cable crimps
I don't make many crimped joints but like to keep a few crimps in stock
for when needed and I've reached the point where I need to stock up with a few more red ones. CPC are selling Pro Power and unbranded ones for just over a couple of quid for a hundred which seems quite cheap - has anyone had problems using these?, Although I don't need that many it will be far cheaper to add some to my next order than it would be to get a small number delivered on their own from TLC and not much more than getting just 25 from some unknown Ebay seller. |

The Propower ones from CPC are OK Bill |

They are fine, but even if you don't use many it is also worth getting a proper crimp tool rather than the common squeeze pliers. https://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/d03...ool/dp/TL08620 for £11 would be more than adequate for occasional use and far better than the pliers sort. |

Ohh yes! Get a crimp tool! Pliers are rubbish for this. Bill |

I've found the quality of crimps varies enormously. Best I've found come from TLC. But CPC should be OK. -- *What happens when none of your bees wax? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
