Does anyone use these. They are handy for doing up quick rigs on the fly. Aaaaannnyyyy way. The main bodies are sold in bags of 100's for a couple of €'s, just add a swivel and slide on a piece of silicone tubing. Maybe it is quicker for you to build a rig or more convienent to buy them, but there it is anyway. Or a little cottage industry for someone with small hands :lol:

have to agree they are too expensive for what they are to buy already made.
its much cheaper to make your own also you can choose what kind of swivel you want to use on them too.
i have found that drennan anti tangle tubing is a perfect fit over the crimps that i use and it does the job better than silicon tubing as its a hard plastic.
you can get the crimps in different sizes to suit different line diameters.

Yes, the main body is a bootlace crimp used mainly in industrial electrical installations available from electrical wholesalers.
