    Thanks Bob.
    A bit of a google and i'm coming up with nothing though. I guess they may be completely outdated.

    Try bootlace connectors - I believe you can get them on a shoestring budget.
    Cheers,

    Whoops, we called then shoestring connectors at work because most of the ones we used were quite small although we did occasionally use the boot size.

    They are called Bootlace ferrules, or Wire ferrules. And the crimping tool to use is the 4 jaw style.

    Don't buy them from the local electrical wholesaler, you'll pay an arm and a leg... get them from digikey or similar http://www.digikey.com.au/product-se...=0&pageSize=25

    Or there's always ebay.. if you are on a shoestring... http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_t...at=0&_from=R40

    After some searching I have a short list of the following.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Electrici...item5d4a752ff9

    I am leaning toward the last one as it is the most versatile.

    Does anybody have any suggestions or comments about these choices.

    I have finally ordered a pair of Crimpers. I chose the second pair listed. The first pair was either badly described, or not big enough for what I wanted. Confusing. The third one (set) was from AG Wholesalers and had the descriptions for the jaws mixed up. No surprise here. The last set was too expensive for what I wanted to use in it. This listing also does not mention what the extra dies are for. It only mentions insulated terminals. It says a 6 pc set when it is 7 pcs. It has 4 extra dies and shows 5 extra dies.

    Maybe the pair I have ordered will not be want I want? My original problem was that it is hard to determine exactly what you need, just from often poor photos. I would prefer to look at them in person.

    I also like to see what I'm buying where tools are involved and even have a fiddle to see what they are really like. Although I admit to doing it a couple of times I don't like trying out the the real thing in a shopfront store and then buying the exact same thing on-line. This of course sucks me in and is probably why I ended up buying the fancy magnetic jaw set. Anyway I have almost forgotten the price

    Default Workhead Motor Junction Box Extension

    While this is an old thread I thought it was the most appropriate place to show a few old photos of the extension I made to the hopelessly undersized box on the motor. Eric "Lamestllama" might be the only member interested .......

    I remembered the thread well, Bob.
    Very nice work - as we've come to expect from you.
    I still often look at my contraptions and think to myself "what would Bob do?"
    Like the welding trolley I just finished. It owes it's paint job to that thought.... as an example.
    Cheers, Joe

    Hi Bob, Eric won't be the only one interested, as I've bought his first one that he got/had, well when he gets around to putting the second one together. Thanks for the details.

    Nice work Bob, hopefully I can keep the original motor too.
