pyro/micc crimp tool

[brman]

Has anyone got (or know where to get) a pyro crimp tool (20mm pots)?

Preferably cheap as it isn't something I expect to use often but I need one by the weekend

Did you try ebay and gumtree or is it a new one you're looking for?

 

[not clever]

I might just have a spare one (hand turned one & screw driver turned one) knocking about will check in the morning, where are you located?

I hope your trained and proficient in MICC its will be a nightmare if your not... as im led to believe they no longer include it in the college courses they just show pictures!

I did notice one on ebay. Screwdriver type for £15 I think which is an option.

Trained? Of course, I've watched the video on youtube, how hard can it be..... :lol:
Actually, no...... I fully expect it to be a nightmare....

Trouble is I wouldn't normally touch the stuff but I have a consumer unit change which has pyro on one circuit that needs re-terminating. I'd rather a bit of hassle and learn than turn down the job.
Luckily I have just stripped loads of the stuff out of a building so I have plenty to practice on. I've already made sure I am happy stripping it with a combination of an adjustable pipe cutter and side cutters (fiddly but do-able with care) but I am not confident of potting it properly without the crimp tool.

I'm in Fleet, Hampshire, not so far from you?

I've just spotted that Neweys appear to do them for £25+vat so they are probably my best option if I end up getting one new.
