Fusebox wire connecter thinggies... what are they called?

I don't have a photo to show you what I mean... but I'm looking for the name of the little metal end bits that go on the end of the wires that go into the fuse box.
The previous owner stripped the end of some wires and they are missing that little connector bit on the end for the screw to clamp onto.
I want to buy some more to neaten up the connections instead of just having frayed wire under the screw - but don't know what they're called to search for them.

Thanks!

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

Thanks guys! looks like ferrules is the correct term... not a term I'd heard heard of before!
Appreciate your quick replies!

Ferrule it is. Alas, per Timmy2, the proper tool to install them is a pricey affair.

Close the wire ends up with solder.
