I am dealing with humor my new situation. :)
At February 2017, I got from eBay my fist 400 pieces of crimp bootlace ferrules, with a nice crystal clear round case.
The Chinese which made this crystal clear round case, they did not add any compartment labeling, and I when DIY.
I did a careful selection back then, and I did buy a case with the most frequently used sizes.
Today the situation this is much different, the Chinese are selling large quantities of ferrules as KIT, 70% are large sizes which end up as a waste.
With out having complete awareness, I did shopped goods of German color code.
Today that I did restock my collection of crimp bootlace ferrules, with stock this is sold in Greece, I got products with the color code of France.
I got several packs of 100 pieces its, so to refill my round case.
And today I feel partially lucky, Germany and France they are partially agree at most common sizes 0.5mm up to 1.5mm :)
