Hope you enjoyed this video guys! Be sure to watch my, "Which Wire Splice Is Best" video below also. Thank you!

[ProjectFarm]

Great video and really like the tips! Looking forward to your next video!

I've used these in the communications industry and was told by a tech rep for the manufacturer (not the same as the Amazon ones) to heat the solder band first.
This is to keep the glue from bleeding into the actual splice before the solder does.

[Keepnthem]

It’s all about the technique!
First, right tool for the right job. Use a miniature torch which creates a small pointed flame, easy to pinpoint the heat.
Second, you are spot on by cleaning the wire before twisting the ends together, clean copper always solders better. That’s why you use sandpaper or a brush before sweating copper pipe. SO…after sliding the connector onto one of the wires, clean the striped wire, twist the two striped ends together, then preheat the connection, You can get the wire plenty hot with the pinpoint flame before melting the insulation. After it’s hot, quickly slide the connector over the heated splice, and proceed to heat the outside of the connector. When the solder melts you will have a strong soldered joint with the solder penetrating the wire strands. It took me a little trial and error but trust me, done right these connectors make a far superior connection than the crimped or heat shrink tubing method. In short, these connectors are the nuts man!

[naturalrebel]

Regardless of how “deep” the solder goes it’s still a good connection have been using these for years and no problems at all from countless projects

[geraldbull]

Well presented, no hype, no music just down to earth every day chatter and I learnt a lot from it, many thanks.

[michaelhuang]

Thanks for your well made video.
I'm wasn't able to comb through all your comments to see if an engineer had weigh in on this.

The joint is weak and superficial. Despite other users having use this in countless projects, this joint has a high failure rate.

It would have been good to show a comparison of the joint using regular flax and solder.

One of the viewers stared that they use a similar product in aircraft wiring, but that product melted at 700 degrees, which sounds like standard solder, and is professional grade.

Cheers

I love this kit. Will never be without. Cheap enough and easy to use. Solid connections. I use it on my Goldwing all the time.

[ghilliemanreviews]

I have these and I got a small heat gun but it heats up. Goes up to like 600 f. The solder in the middle really liquified and spread. Made a great connection. I even used one just as a way to seal another connection and the solder liquified and went into the other connector and improved it! They work well with a good heat gun.

[PoptartFps]

Had them on my boat trailer for along time never had one fail. Been in alot of salt water. Lights still working

[ourkid]

We use similar solder sleeves on aircraft wiring. All airplanes have thousands of these as they're used where shielded wires have their shields terminated. Unlike these ones, when we melt them with our heat guns, the solder really flows into the wire. We usually use heat guns that can hit 700 degrees though. Perhaps the heat shrink on the professional solder sleeves are up to the job more so than these? I also noticed that ours have flux in the solder.... you'll see it bubbling out when the solder is flowing.

[haydenbriggs]

Seems like maybe a tube of heat shrink over it after heating this connector could be an extra layer of security with regards to the sealing??

[woxmpmz]

The ones I got were easy enough (TICONN) but my gripe was that it started to smell like burning plastic and I believe it started to damage the insulator. It was nice and shiny. At 700+ degrees it still took longer than it should have.

[Skyfox]

Thanks for telling us about E6000 glue. I had a plastic repair job that would not hold with Loctite plastic bonder or epoxy--both of those glues broke again rather easily--so I bought a tube of E6000 to fix it, and that stuff is holding amazingly strong. I often forget to be gentle with the repaired piece, but the E6000 allows it to flex without breaking again. Good stuff!

[Ressy]

@2:10 I'm so glad you mention this, so many times I've seen so called experts whinge and gripe about problems soldering because the wire is so dark you'd think its been in mud, I've oft told them to use fine grit sand paper, but the blade is good too :)

[ZPDSurvival]

I am about to start re wiring a motorcycle. Thanks for this review. I don't plan on using this product, but it would be great for other projects.

[benpalmer]

I've used these connections for rewiring my boat trailer lights. They were water tight and work well in fresh and saltwater.

[ericrumbolz]

I just always put a heat shrink tube on over the connector to make it a little more secure

[stevenmannion]

Thanks for your video, it was very informative. There is a way to significantly improve the connection...add a small amount of solder to the twisted wires before you add the connector - you don't need much. I tried it today and the small amount of flux allowed it to penetrate much more deeply into the wires.

[luisgordillo]

These connectors are sweet. Very handy. And by the way they do actually have solder in them that melts and solders the wires when heated.
