Tools for fitting a reversing camera kit

This is an ideal automatic wires stripper tool for stripping back most cables encountered during an installation.  It makes stripping wires quicker and easier.

A sealant gun is very handy to have so that you can seal the cable entry point for the reversing camera wire. Modern sealant/adhesives that coachbuilders use, like Sikaflex 522 will even allow you to bond the camera bracket up with no screws (you will need to remove the camera from the bracket until it sets).  They come in a tube that require one of these tools in order to squeeze the sealant out. This is a no frills entry level model.

This is a low cost option for people needing a soldering iron for making connections to vehicle electrics. Soldering is always our preferred option for long lasting, reliable connections, especially when combined with our adhesive lined heat shrink to protect the joint (although you can use our insulation tape for joints made in dry areas).

We used to sell cheaper multimeters a while back that were supplied by an alternative producer, but they used to fail, so we stopped selling.  We use multimeters on a regular basis, so we need reliability.  We switched to using Tenma for ourselves and haven't had one fail yet.  We have now decided to start selling multimeters again that are supplied by the same company we use for ourselves. This is their auto ranging model. 

We aren't massive fans of crimps here at Reversing Cameras UK. We have seen many bad crimp jobs in our time with people sending their working (once the crimp has been cut off) parts back. If you are going to crimp, then a ratchet crimp is one of the best ways to do so. They will easily apply enough force to the crimp to make a good contact compared to the basic ones found on some wire strippers.

This is a nice simple heat gun, supplied with 5 directional hot air flow nozzles. Our customers use this when heat shrinking the connections - either some tube heat shrink over a solder joint, or one of the new solder seal wire connectors.
