    Uninsulated ring crimps

    So, some of us tape over the cylindrical part of a ring crimp. Advantage is it gives some form of insulation against accidental contact Disadvantage is that it can’t be seen for inspection, To tape or not to tape, that is the question that is bugging me. P.s. I. Very rarely tape over them...

    Extending a ring main wagos or crimps

    Should we use copper blade crimps?

    hello guys I quite often find that when terminating 25mm tails into a 100a fuse board isolator you do not get the 25mm tails to squash nicely by the main switch thermals like you would 16mm tails, should be be using copper blade terminals instead to ensure a better connection?

    Who needs wago's or crimps

    A nice little surprise when checking behind a socket outlet. To be fair, the joint and damaged insulation were taped over lol.
