[Swansea Hackspace] Crimping tool for pi/arduino

[Tim Clark]

Found the original order from 2014 and it looks like my original open 
barrel die also came from Farnell, 
https://uk.farnell.com/duratool/9pk-3003d2/die-set-non-insulated/dp/3125166 
I think I also bought one that did even smaller connectors from china 
but I can't find the order right now.
