Hi Guys.
So as the title says I recently had to crimp some 6mm T+E using yellow pre-insulated butt crimps. I have a pair of Engex ratchet crimping pliers, which work very well with red and blue crimps, but when I tried to crimp the 6mm the crimps could be easily pulled from the cable. I eventually (after several attempts) managed to get a firm crimp by using the yellow setting first then using the blue die to about half way, then releasing the jaws from the ratchet.
Has anyone else had this problem? Am I using cheap butt crimps, should I get a better crimping tool?
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Steve.
