Bullet connector tool

[ahebron]

I made a tool out of an old pair of long nose pliers with the help of a blow torch and cutting wheel on an angle grinder, makes installing them a hell of a lot easier.
I also use small nylon brushes on my dremel to clean the male connectors before inserting them.
I havent worked out a way to clean the females yet but do spray with a decent contact cleaner. Be careful as there are different grades of contact cleaner and the strong ones can attack non metallic surfaces

Really? I’ve had loads of stuff from them over the years . Pretty sure the last pack of bullet connectors I got from my local motor factors along with the single and double female connectors?

I'll try again later, and might ask them. But they are USA based....

Won't sell to the UK. Annoying.

Am I missing something?
That link is to Vehicle Wiring products a UK company??

Yes Vehicle Wiring Products are a UK company in Derbyshire.
I think @Wildefalcon meant to quote @8ob 's linky in an earlier reply which is on American e-bay.

If you're making one, do yourself a favour and have decent handles on them.

Stroke of genius, after last night’s embarrassing episode trying to get my driver’s license out of my wallet, to vote, a small pair of pliers in my pocket would do the job admirably.
My thumbs are so feeble nowadays I can’t grip anything with them.

Same for ear plugs when riding my bike.

Ripaults or Durite do them. Snip Snap tool or something like that. Had mine years. Got loads of bullets too

They do a great job, so much better than pliers or random wrong tools.

Much better connectors on the market now though.

I got them to sell to me at last, used an overseas address where I've family.
