Tools for terminals, EFI and chassis wiring

[raygreenwood]

I figured I would put this here because outside of type 3 and 4 cars...the "bus-lings" use the most EFI in these forums and the type 3/4 guys spend time over here too.

Others may have seen these...I have sen tools like this but never all in one set and never for damn cheap. I ordered a set last night...$24 shipped.

Check these out. And scroll down the page and see thier other kits. They have 11, 18, 21 and 26 piece sets. I ordered the 26 piece set because...why not! I work on things from old to new and also industrial.

Hello,

Another reason for owning a Type II...

Thanks ray. As an aircraft mechanic we often have to de-pin wires on connectors and use special tools for doing it properly. This will fit my toolbox nicely ( not for use on acft), for my 2L F.I.

This picture does a little better job at describing what these tools do.

These are handy if you are working with wiring with various connectors on them. They are useful for saving your wires when you need to replace the connector.

Hello,
Oh, Well Hell... That's what those things are for....
Sure beats the hell outta a thin blade screw driver, a pick set or some dolled-up paper clips.... and what ever else is handy...
I may have to look into a set of those...

I tried to get some extractors on the snapon truck earlier this year but the driver wasn't familiar with what tools went with specific terminal brands or styles.. their kits were somewhere around $150.

The last few harnesses I've worked on, I just made do with jeweler's screwdrivers like most people probably do. Would be pretty nice to have that set Ray!!

The funny thing....is this was one of those pop up ads in Facebook.....the ones I dont think I have ever clicked on. I looked at the ad for about 2 minutes before clicking on it.....and actually bought the largest 26 piece set about 5 minutes later.
For $19....even if I never actually get to use half of them....is just fine. The small 11 piece set.....I looked atnd at figured it would suck to buy a set and in short order....have to use them and be missing one tool...like from the 18 piece set.

The difference in cost...11 piece...like $11....21 piece like $17...26 piece $19....no brainer. Ray

When I saw the title on the photo, "Terminal Pensioner" I figured this was some medical device for those aged Brits with EOL issues...

So...I ordered this set of tools on about September 16th.

I just got them ...I think on the 15th or so of October. I was out of the country so I cant be sure.

At first the seller seemed a little sketchy. About ten days in I contacted them and they sent back an automated.....and then live person...broken English e-mail....of "getting stock in...can you wait a little longer please?"

And I noted...yes...but please have a little better communication. So I got two more e-mails over a week or so...."stock coming to us this week". Then "shipped...coming to you".

So from the packaging it appears....the people advertising this tool set....are in South Korea. They are buying a product made in China...sold to them by a guys sales site.... in Spain. That site from the packaging....is called "www.alivava.com"....

Anyway...they got here! And they look damn good! They "seem" at a glance to be a little delicate...but in fact are quite stiff (stainless steel) and are polished well. I will try them on some terminal types over the next few days/weeks and report back.

If only half of them work....I still think it was a bargain for the $26 total I paid.

I bought a set of these, too (Honson, via Amazon). It was a set of 57 pieces for $21 (incl tax and shipping). Look to be the same style as yours. Quality seems acceptable on the ones I tried. One thing with my set: there seems to be a lot of redundant pieces (not a big deal). Good deal for the money.
