British bike electrics were legendary for their lack of reliability causing that well know phrase - "Lighting by Lucas - the prince of darkness"
Part of the problem was that many of the brass bullets were soldered on. One should not solder anything on a bike if not essential because the molten solder is drawn into the multi-strand flexible wire by capillary action, making the wire a single conductor wire and vulnerable to suffering stress fractures caused by the not inconsiderable vibration found in classic British singles and twins. Another issue is the brass corroding which can be minimised by covering the bullets and sockets in a dielectric grease of corrosion block grease.
These tools can put an end to the delights of soldering bullets. The crimp tool will fit the bullets nicely and the fitting tool squeezes the bullets into sockets which isn't a fun job without this tool

Let customers speak for us
Really quick delivery and a great addition when rebuilding bluespots.
Quality item, so much better than generic kit you can get on line. Repeat customer, says it all.
Fantastic done the job thank you
I hate changing tyres, but this stuff made the job much easier.
I broke the bead on the old tyre then applied the paste with a paint brush. Ten year old Bridgestone slid off easily and the new Heidenau, with very stiff sidewalls, was fitted much more easily than when I’d tried with washing-up liquid.
After having struggled trying to set the pilot air screws on my Suzuki’s carb’s - I saw this recommended in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics and it is an excellent piece of kit and well made too.
Excellent quality, first time I’ve used ‘ball-ended’ they were so much more adaptable when trying to access restricted spaces. Well worth it !
The right length, the right colour and with crocodile clips on the ends...
Made the whole job so much easier, using the proper tools for the job gives you a sense of a job well done.
