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

I am very pleased with the crimping tool as it is ideal for my diy requirements.
There are many more expensive types on the market but this fits my budget and works well, with good results.
I would recommend this tool as it works perfectly well and at a reasonable price.
Thanks to bikers tool box fot the fast service.
I am very pleased with the compact wire strippers as they are nice and lightweight.
You can adjust a slider in the jaws so that all of your wires can be stripped to exactly they same length.
I would recommend this tool as it seems good value for money and hopefully will last a while.
Thank you to bikers tool box for the rapid service.
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.
