Hi

 

I just found this tool on TEMU, looks siimilar to the hex-shaped tool for the Lucas terminals.

 

Anybody tried this ?

Hi Gaspen

 

I don't think a piece of cake would crimp anything at all.  :D  :D  :D  :D

 

Link does not seem to be working although the cake did look very tasty.

I think you'd be better off with some designed for the specific terminals. Unless you're a stickler for originality there are also better terminals. Even bullets with better cable support, that will use spade terminal crimp tools.

Link not working for me, just loads of ads I can’t get out of.

Personally I’d avoid TEMU unless very cheap

I ordered many items from Temu, I have no problem with them.

The limiting factor is the depth of the dies,it has to crimp the center reduced diameter of the barrel.Steve..

The Crimp type Lucas Bullets I've seen and used need a very narrow faced crimp tool. This one appears too wide for them.

I have one like this. It works well on several different types of connector.

Hi,

 

As per beardylondon above that is exactly what I was getting.

It annoys me that one gets a load of adverts for TEMU aimed at me on the news website when I have never used them and never will.

Now that I have visited that page and passed the captcha and changed the language it becomes clear.
