Considering
the number of times I have encountered rally crews with 'wiring problems'
especially when it gets damp - and it gets damp a lot in this country, very
damp - I thought this latest offering from Laser Tools might be of interest to
the hands-on DIY brigade.
This ratchet crimping tool (part number 7002)
from Laser Tools is supplied with two die-heads, an H2 size for 22-20 and 16
AWG(0.35-0.5²mm & 1.5²mm) wiring and an H3 sized head for 17 to 18 AWG
(0.75²mm and 1.0²mm). The Assorted Automotive Electric Supaseal Connector kit comes
from Connect Consumables (part number 37225).
Once the terminals are crimped they are pushed
into the appropriate connector and locked in place with locking tabs. In the
Connect Consumables connector kit a selection of 1 pin, 2 pin, 3 pin, 4 pin, 5
pin and 6 pin male and female connectors are supplied, together with the yellow
wire seals and the terminal locking tabs. When the male and female connectors
are pressed together the result is a professional, moisture-resistant
connection that conforms to the RoHS specification. And what better place to test
their damp-proofing than a sodden bluidy wet service area in the middle of
nowhere.
The 7002 ratchet crimping tool is typically
priced at £94.49; the 37225 connector kit is £95.64 (incl VAT). Top up blister
packs of the connectors and terminals are available. Look for them at your usual
auto Parts stockist.
Note: I am not an agent of Laser Tools nor am
I being paid to promote this - just thought it might be of interest, cos it is
to me!
