Does anyone in the south have a pair of these they could either A) post to me, I'll pay for postage and return them, or B) I could post some wiring with a return postage paid envelope? or C) let me use them if you are local.
Thanks in advance. |

I've got crimpers here that go up to 70mm cable. In Swindon though.

Handy tool to have and dependant on size of crimping obtainable for pre-insulated crimps for about £20-£35 is it not worth buying a set perhaps? Cheap automotive ones are also available form Halfords obviously.
Do not have Duralite but do have access to others.... DMC, Daniels, Raychem and Amp. If it's something larger I will be able to help. Option B would be best. Any possibility of a better description of what you want to achieve? (Size of cable, type of termination etc. etc.) PM if preferred.

http://www.hgvequipment.co.uk/070351-durit...-6332.html These, I thought that durite only had one type of connector. How wrong. I don't really want to fork out £50 for a tool I will probably never use again. |

The equivalent DMC tool I have does not have the size range of the Durite one depicted. Mine is 18-24 AWG. Why not take the cables into an automotive/motorcycle workshop and get them to crimp them up for you or ask to 'borrow' the tool and crimp them up yourself on their premises? I've done that in the past when desperate.

My mistake.... read the link to the type of crimpers you need... not hulking great bolt on lugs like mine does

No offence Jim but having been based at Lyneham not a million miles away from Swindon I thought you may have been talking about hair crimpers.

You can get that tool for less than a tenner, wouldn't rely on it on a daily basis but for seldom use it may be a good option for you.

Brian,
That's not the right tool. The Duralite one depicted crimps the contacts that go into the DIN type connectors and/or the rear of relay bases with a double crimp action. It crimps the conductor and rolls two tabs over on the back of the crimp that grips the insulation too. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

I suspected that Mal, but it was more to show that you can get a cheap, from China copy of a tool if you do a bit of searching that may actually do the same job for a lot less money.

Very fiddly and time consuming process but if you have the patience and eyesight you can do without the tool and crimp the Econoseal and Superseal terminals without the expensive crimping pliers using a pair of ordinary fine needlenose pliers.

I always solder on my econoseal connectors.
Makes them much (IMO) stronger and a better contact |

Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |
