hmm keystone eyelets cost ~~$4 / 100 at newark.
at reichelt.de 1000 cost 19eur (probably bungard).
100 0.5sqmm ferrules cost 0,60eur, at reichelt.de

not as expensive as i had remembered, but ferrules are still cheaper and i  
can get them here and needn't order in germany.

I don't want to press them, just solder both sides. Tho i guess it would  
not be too hard to make a tool to press them.
