Hi.
I'm just starting out on my own and really appreciate the advice given here.
I'm installing my C/U (eventually to be used for my NICEIC assessment) and I need to extend all cables 30cms max. I've done lots or research and decided to crimp them and locate within an adaptable box.
I don't want to get the wrong type of ratchet tool and butt crimps. Are the following acceptable for 1.5mm2 upto 6mm2 (different coloured sleeves aside)?

Also, is this the best approach? Reluctant to use din rails because of cost but will if it's the best way.
Many thanks, Rob.
That doesn't look like the right tool for insulated crimps, especially considering it has positions for and is marked up for cable sizes up to 10mm whereas a crimper for insulated crimps would normally just have the three positions for the three sizes of crimp.
