Crimping Tool
Just been to my local B&Q Warehouse to get some more ali when I saw they sell the ratchet type crimping tool for pre insulated terminals. At £20
it was about the price I'd seen them for in various catalogues so I was picking out some little packets of terminals to use when I noticed they
do the same crimp in a box with 450 different type terminals for £24, bargain. So I got that. This has to be one of the best tools I've got.
Usually I use a cheap crimping tool and I'm forever having the terminals fall off again and the whole thing is very frustrating, it is the
reason I've been putting off wiring up the dash for about a month. But I just spent two happy hours cutting wires and fitting terminals and now
the dash is nearly done. 
So sometimes it is worth getting the right tool for the job and not trying to make do.

Please feel free in advance to: correct, update, ridicule or laugh and point at any comments made by myself in this post....

Yeah, that's what my auto-electrician mate told me to do. He told me off for buying the insulated crimp tool and told me to be a real man and
solder!
