Crimping tool and connectors
I used the search function but didn't find what I was after. I'm looking for a good quality crimping to, and a source for un insulated tinned copper butt connectors, ring terminals etc. I am not completely re wiring a car, but adding relays, repairing existing wiring, adding gauges etc. Years ago I got some from MAD Electric, but was hoping to find a supplier that made a complete kit. I am in Canada on the west coast, but can also ship easily from USA.
Thank you!

My favorite source is Waytek Wire. They have an excellent selection of Molex and M3 butt connectors as well as all kinds of other connectors and crimping tools.

I also use Terminal Supply out of Troy Michigan....they have most connectors used EFI and OEM along with some prewired pigtails.

I use the Waytek 560 crimper with the jaws for uninsulated connectors.

My favorite crimper. It's best to keep your digits out of the jaws as this thing will make fast work of them.

For inexpensive barrel style crimpers I prefer these from Waytek (Item# 419 @ $26.38):

I have real Delphi (Aptiv) crimpers, but typically use the el cheapos above.
You have to crimp the wire and the seal separately, but I like that they don't have a ratchet mechanism so I feel I have more control.
