| We currently perform pull-off tests to validate crimptools. Bootlace
ferrules are difficult to test in this way. Is there any need to
perform this kind of test on a bootlace given that it will be clamped
via a screw terminal?

I have had a few fail in my years when doing wire-up jobs, even the bootlace
types. There are times when the crimp tool misplaces the ferrule in the
jaws and this leads to misapplication of the crimp pressure. The result is
the furrule does not grip the wire properly. I always give each and every
crimp I do a tug to ensure they are firmly in place.

Installed by MAN, destined to be tested for compliance.
