[QUOTE="Apache, post: 175095, member: 828"] These were the crimps [URL="http://cpc.farnell.com/_/026g/500-assorted-terminals-connectors/dp/AR71386"]http://cpc.farnell.com/_/026g/500-assorted-terminals-connectors/dp/AR71386[/URL] These are the crimp pliers [URL="http://cpc.farnell.com/_/ht-301/insulated-terminals-red-blue-yellow/dp/TL08620"]http://cpc.farnell.com/_/ht-301/insulated-terminals-red-blue-yellow/dp/TL08620[/URL] I can assure you that everything fails at some point. There will always be a force sufficient to pull a crimp out, made by any means you chose. If you think that a cold formed crimp will be stronger than the cable I believe you are disillusioned. A reasonable pull, holding the cable with some pliers and all failed. Doc - not saying this is what they are designed to do, merely testing a hunch. [/QUOTE]
