In search of quality ferrules (photo attached)

Sprinter MacSprinterson

Does anyone know where to get these ferrules? Ideally - feel free to recommend the tool for such crimp as well. The cable in photo is 16mm squared.

I have been trying out bootlace ferules which (although reasonably cheap) even with the right tool feel a bit flimsy even after the crimp and the closed nature means you can't really see much if the crimp is solid or not, but I digress.

My main issue is that as per photo attached these ferules seem to have much simpler, more robust and reliable design. On top of this the tool needed to make this crimp is very affordable, even if it is CK or Knippex brand. I just can't find any place selling them.

I am looking for 16mm, 10mm and 6mm squared flavours.

Huge thank you.

Get boot lace ferrules and a proper crimp tool. Nothing better.

Are they ?

I'd say the best contact is the fine stranded clamped no ferrules

Would solder be better?

I found crimped ferrules not alway so good.

Sorry I can't answer your question

Solder to "fix" stranded cables "flows" when cold, Although It might be o/k for the sizes 6mm up, when I were a lad I was warned not to solder cables going into screw terminals. Manufacturers of brown goods went through a phase where all mains cables were supplied tinned without mains plugs and sure enough after years of use the solder would flow away from the screw and the conductor would easily swivel under the screw.
