[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 259585, member: 13534"] Hi All, I ALWAYS use ferrules on fine stranded cables [like flex or SY or whatever], and, as OnOff said, even if just fitting a 13A plug, there is a reg which REQUIRES this too, only i cannot be bothered to look it up right now!! Obviously i would not use them on a cable with a SINGLE solid core, no matter what the size, but on any cable that has multiple strands of a [COLOR=#0000FF]small diameter [/COLOR]that i would consider will be damaged, seriously crushed, or "chewed up" by the action of tightening the terminal, then yes, i would always use a ferrule.. john...
