  • Need the Dynamo hive mind, I'm two connections away from being able to ride all weather commuter. Trying to connect rear light to front light. Rear light cable has bare wires and seperate spade connectors (my terminology could be incorrect, see photos below for what I'm trying to connect) and I've brought this crimping tool to close connector around bare wire. Have I purchased the correct tool for the job? Or do I require something else? Answers welcome..

  • Small needle nose pliers are fine Those crimps are better for thicker gauge wires and for the variety of stuff you fine in homes. It'll work, but not 100% necessary.

  • I didn't use any connectors on mine. I just twisted the bare pairs together, shrink wrapped them and added a bit of electrical tape for paranoia.
