Does anyone know where I can purchase the little copper crimps that are used by manufacturers to terminate the wires in a 13A plug?
I have searched for crimps, ferrells, oversleeves etc. but come up empty.
Please; I want to use these so lets not get into the "to tin or not to tin" debate.
If you know where I can buy them a link would be marvellous.
Thank you for reading this.

I wont ask why you would want to fit a ferrule within a 13A plug. But you could always make your own if they are that important .. https://tinyurl.com/y9tpy9qo

Try eBay but spell ferrule correctly!
If you only want a few try a friendly electrician.

why ? i never use crimps just keep the bare wire to around 3/8" and twist it round so its uniform,never done anything but this all my many decades

The only reason they're used on commercially fitted plugs is to make mass production simpler.
