Electrical crimper for these terminals: Where from?
Morning Guys,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the correct crimpers for
"THESE" terminals and where can i get them from?
Cheers
Alex

I looked at those crimping tools, but eventually decided to put a tiny rop of solder and carefully compress the clips on the inserts for those
connectors with needlenose pliers.
Admittedly the car isn't running or on the road yet (no correlation to the work I've done!), but they're holding fine to date.

this is what i was just thinking, i was prepared to pay maybe £30-£40 as i knew that they would need a "special" crimper for them but £155
is just rediculous!

Its an AMP Superseal.
The proper crimps are the ones to use, but you can do it with these...
crimper
Our Sparkies have used both, if doing lots then spend the money, if just a few then you can get by with the cheaper ones

You can borrow it if you want

I have been using a proper crimping tool for years now but it was no where near that price.
I have found that Durite make one Linky dinky
(PDF page) part no 0-703-50
Available from Bedford Battery (northampton) £52.75 +VAT. You should have a Durite supplier in your area, Durite supply a lot electrical kit, wire,
connectors, switches all for the motor trade.
Hope this helps.

I did my entire loom using a pair of needle pliers.... folding over the lugs and then soldering the connector..
Fiddly, and not perfect, but it works...
Would £150 have been a good investment.... YES!!!!
