whats good?
i have no idea what to look for, and i see some at 60 quid. i don't have 60 quid for one, i want one 10-15, preferably less.
yeah you get what you pay for, but i'm buying one out of protest
people keep saying they'll do my wiring loom, then i never hear from them again and they don't answer my emails, so;

whats decent and cheap, since i'm going to have to get on and do this myself

best i've got is one of these, which i've never managed to have working properly, and i don't think its up to these type of plugs




i think i've got one of these somewhere too, do these work?

I usually fold them and squish them with long nose pliers then finish off with soldering, makes a good joint and makes use of the tools I have.

Never had one fall off.

you're right! the end is different.

the one you got isn't listed by that same guy any more
i can't work out if this is the right type or not?
Electrical Ratchet Crimping Tool Pliers interlocking non insulated bullets AT672


or this one?
Non-insulated Crimp Tool - 3.9mm Bullets, 6.3mm Terminals Crimping Bullet un MP

Have a look HERE and pick which ever fits your budget. FYI I have a set of the cheapo pliers and find they work well enough, not sure where I got them from.

I'd go for these:
Non-Insulated Crimp Tool - 6.3mm, 3.9mm Bullets Flag Terminals Crimping Spade DL

or these are similar to mine:

Non-Insulated Tab Terminal Crimper Plier AWG28-18 SN-28

No idea how good they are though as they are slightly different.

Cheers davie, I'd go with mp71, but after vat and post is added, its up to 15 quid, which isnt bad, but the same as these Non-insulated Crimp Tool - 3.9mm Bullets, 6.3mm Terminals Crimping Bullet un MP

Before I knew it, i'd gone with loggys suggestion, under a tenner, ratchet etc, clicked buy it now before I even knew what I was doing

Cheers lads

Edit, bah, should've checked the item location. Over a week for delivery from gibraltar. Email address is cliefromchina, ah well, no rush

I have used one of these Ref MP71 from VWS for years, give a OEM finished crimp.
