Excellent video- I've tried both standard crimping and soldering. For me it's job dependant on which method you use, but I found your video straight forward, free from annoying waffle and right to the point. Great work, thank you.

Nice video tutorial, simple yet explanatory. Would love to see more electrics related content, maybe a side channel, there’s a lot of us looking for this type of content. Anyway thank you and keep up the good work!!! ⚡️

Thanks for doing this, very helpful. I would like to have seen how to crimp quick disconnects as I'm struggling with this right now. A ratcheting crimper would certainly help.

Easy on a table - hard when it's down in an engine compartment where you can't get your tools

Hi, great video - I have one query about which Side of the crimping tool faces the terminal and which faces the wire. There is a slight difference in the dies - does the smaller gap crimp the insulation to the wire (strain relief) or the wire to crimp (connection)?

And how to crimp solid wire? Not stranded.

[romanmarchak]

Is crimping for solid wire? Nobody says. Blue terminals not for 18 ga!!!!

"The plastic is crimped for strain relief" ? It clearly isn't.
