I'm looking to move a CU which will need cables extending. Rather than have a large junction box I am considering crimping the extensions on. I know there are two camps on crimping, but it's either a crimp or a DIN rail JB which I'd rather not use. So then, now I need to select a tool. Lots of choices, BUT...if I'm buying one I may as well get one that will do everything I need. This is where I need help! The insulated terminals are not an issue, but does anyone know of ones that also do uninsulated crimps? I'm thinking here of 10mm csa, for earth connections, down to, say 1.0 for putting ferrules on stranded cables to connect with FCU's etc. May as well try and work neat! I suppose I could possibly get away with two crimpers if I have to. Found these;

but I would probably lose the spare jaws!

Any advise on a supplier of reliable crimps / ferrules would also be gratefully received.

Cheers!
