Great info there, guys - as ever, it is good to be able to go into a new process with some insight from others, whether that be positive or negative.

My take from all this is that the key is getting a decent crimp. And it also sounds like that is quite feasible with any of the tools - even the basic two jaw types. But maybe each crimp requires a careful inspection to be sure it worked ok. And whilst that is acceptable for us hobby users, it doesn't work so well commercially. And maybe that is where the more expensive branded tools come in.

So as ever, you make your choice. I'm not in the market for a silly money crimping tool, so I'll likely go for one of Wal's/Clive's recommendations. I have a control box to wire shortly - and likely more in the future - hence I thought I might as well make the jump now.

If it works well, I may report back. But if I have problems, I'll likely just go quiet, after Jazz's promise!

Cheers
Graeme
