[QUOTE="Bruspark, post: 521477, member: 20106"] Cheapo Ferrules usually lose their shine fairly quickly so I think they use a bit of oil or lacquer to keep them shiny until some mug buys them at '10p /1000 plus £5 postage from China '. They are something I am very picky about sourcing, as unless the material and finish is correct and it behaves correctly in the matching crimper and terminal I believe the end result is going to be worse than no ferrule at all. Seen hard work crimping, higher than expected resistances, and ferrule material actually cracking and twisting when tightened (normally !) in a terminal. No one needs yet another layer of doubt in an installation 😂 [/QUOTE]
