heat shrink and butt connectors

[andekoch]

What type of heat shrink are you using, ie adhesive backed or the standard stuff?

Also where do you get the solid tube butt connectors from (ie not the ones with the split). I have heard (on this forum) that the solid tube butts give a much better grip. Obviously not talking about uninsulated butts just the internal metal sleeve in the butt.

Also have just come across this site (Cable Ties, Nuts & Bolts, Screws, Powers tools and Unistrut at trade prices.) which has a whole range of useful stuff like, heat shrink, butts, cable ties, p-clips, stainless steel cable ties, tools, adhesives, tape, etc etc. Havent compared prices yet though.
Anyone used them?

Check out WAGO connectors

I like wago connectors and am converting most of my joints to them but still see a use for the humble crimp (and heat shrink).
Size mainly especially when renewing a CU and the existing cables are too short.
