My recent search for miniature tubular crimps for cat5 cable modifications reminded me of something I came across many years ago (possibly 50???) consisting of a copper tube of perhaps 1/8" bore, half filled with solder and flux, and having a jacket of 'match head material' that could be struck like a match to heat up and melt the solder. For joining wires in the field but I cannot remember where I got them. Either ex Army or possibly ex GPO. Don't need any, just wondered if anyone else remembers them and there use?
