Proper OEM electrical crimps?

[Rich H]

I'm trying to find a reasonably priced tool for crimping OEM type non-insulated spade terminals, anyone point me in the right direction?

I've used the maplin one, but it's not great quality...

Mind you a 300 piece kit for a tenner isnt too bad for occational use!

Cheers Steve but I want a non-insulated one, one that will form the crimp properly like OEM ones, sort of doubled over.

I'd expect RS (http://www.rswww.com) will sell one, but they will charge you for it . . . I have a trade account so free delivery if you need to use them . . . PM me if required . . .

Personally I use duraseal crimps on car stuff . . . expensive but totally waterproof - just like norml insulated crimps but the insulation is self adhesive shrink wrap . . . brilliant . . .

Cheers FD will take a look!

Found one at £32 on Carbuildersolutions might go with that if RS can't provide.

I need to replace crimps in the fuse board and a couple of plugs so they need to be standard crap crimps. My Porker electrics car be a little tempramental, currently the Tacho works when the indicator tell tale is illuminated... 1000-0-1000-0 is getting to be a bit annoying!!

I used to steal crimps from the tool stores, they had some ace in line connecotrs, low temp solder and a self adesive heat shrink sleeve. Put the wires in put a hot air gun on it, solder melts and its all sealed and glued together, almost as strong as the wire. Run out now and joining the RAF to steal C spares is a bit extreme....

Aye - the duraseal stuff, although a crimp, once all heat/shrunk would be as strong as any wire I think . . . that and the corrosion resistance and they really are top notch . . . designed for avionics/airbags/delicate sensor wiring repair in harsh environments originally I believe . . .

There are so many good reasons never to listen to Tut

The one on carbuilderthingmybob is going to work fine as it has the proper profile jaws to do the job - good find!
