Gosh - I use eyelets from Keystone and thought they were fairly 
inexpensive.  They've only got 3 sizes: 0.062", 0.093", 0.125" and the 
tooling is frigg'n expensive but works very well.

I'll check prices on Monday.  I've got lots of all 3 sizes on hand right 
now and just don't remember what the last batch cost us.

Where do you purchase your ferrules?  I'm currently using name brand 
(expensive) non-insulated ferrules from Weidmuller and about to purchase a 
whole whack of insulated ferrules.  Inexpensive sources would be nice to 
know about.

Thanks!
