What kind of connector is this? It on the old power cord.

What kind of connector is this?
The sander is very old.
I just feel it would be better to crimp and use this style connector or a similar one.
Possibly crimp a modern ferrule onto a new replacement power cord.
It was on the old cracked power cord for my old Milwaukee 6010 sheet sander and goes into the switch and is secured using 2 individual screws.

These are normally used to crimp onto the strands to hold them together when screws are used as the clamping device.

Thanks
Hoping to find out the connector technical name to order online and get a crimper tool.
The local hardware store didn't have any.
It looks like it be an older ferrule crimp design.
Didn't see it in the Milwaukee 6010 parts list and doesn't appear to come pre installed on a new power cord.

Bootlace ferrules. Not exactly the same but will do the job. We used to use them by the thousands when we built substations.
I'm not sure what state you are from but any electronic hobby supply shop will have them in small quantities. Electrical wholesalers will have them too, but maybe only by the 100.

Usually used when terminating multistrand conductors between two flat surfaces. They keep the (fine) strands together and provide mechanical stress support at the point where the insulation has been stripped off. (The ones in power tools dont have the mechanical support)

i find the Jaycar insulated crimp terminals are really poor quality. Have throw the couple of packets I purchased in the bin as they not good enough for a reliable connection in my view.
Have not used the ferrule crimps above no cannot comment on them.

I would simply obtain a couple of AMP style bare wire crimp terminals and install them on the wires using an AMP type crimp tool. Next, cut the terminal ends off, leaving the crimped ferrules attached to the wires.

Okay thanks everyone. Took awhile to decide on a crimper. The German brand is $200.00
I read various reviews and ordered a ferrule assortment kit and a $21.99 HSC86 -6 IWISS Self-adjusting Hexagonal Plier for AWG23-10 End-sleeves Ferrule. They will arrive this Sunday.
