Nice eh!?
I did similar. Lead and twin switched socket with integrated fuse for less than 6 quids from same site. Connected to battery terminals and voila!

superseals on fleabay normally around 10 for £6 postage inc.

This

is the cheapest Superseal crimping tool I have come across. I’ve just bought one - it works great!

Do you have to crimp twice, once for the wire and once for the seal?
There are two types listed for superseal, IWS or IWC both are 142B

Yes, with this tool (1424B) it’s a 2 crimp process but you’re talking another £25 or more for the crimpers that do it in one hit so if you’re feeling rich…
