Great tutorial!! Thank you. You're one of the best presentations with a clean background that makes everything clear. My only additional comment...when using the connector in a real application, slide the connector over one wire until the end protrudes, twist or splice the ends together, slide the connector into place, continue from there. Maybe obvious to EVERYONE else, but I twisted my wires together and then blankly stared at it for a moment with the Sopoby connector in my hand. Yep, I'm really smart.

I use these on my boat and trailer electronics with great success. I use a torch and once you figure out how to not burn anything they're fast and secure. The only thing I do differently is go with the sopoby recommendation of meshing the wires in a straight line. Nice video.

Sopoby, the manufacturer, doesn't provide any instructions for use, so your video is a great service to those of us trying out this method of splicing wires with solder and a weather-proof seal using Sopoby products. Thanks for making this video. So far, my experience has been pretty good, although I discovered that if you use a Butane mini-torch, you can burn the plastic and melt holes in it, although the solder itself works pretty well if you are sure it has melted on all sides of the joint - it will be shiny everywhere it has melted.

I used it on indicator lights that blew and had to rewrite connection block to wire loom, worked perfectly, for this application it’s great maybe for high voltage connections maybe not. 12 volt application perfect.

Works best in tight areas with a small butane solder gun/blower/torch, plus you can direct the heat better and get better penetration of solder into wires, without the worry about getting things you don't won't heated down with the large heat gun!

Well I appreciate seeing how to do this. Helping hands never help me, lol I'm always repairing wires in place, so they would just be in the way. I think a square know would add a ridiculous amount of bulk to the connection. Keep it simple. A wrap, or a hook like you did.

Great video... thanks. Good advice and excellent demo of how to solder using these helpful devices and a good test of their perfromance. Well done!

Saw in another video a guy commented to add a smitch of flux....maybe you can experiment i am waiting for my box to come in

[Tyler-npud]

I used them and the solder joint get hot. Could I have done something wrong?

[aaronwest]

How does this work with connecting wires of different gauges?

[King_TuTT]

how does this work inside a hot engine? will the heat loosen the weld??

[applejacks]

I wish the camera view wasn't upside down looking down at a backwards/inverted angle...makes me feel like I'm falling outta my seat :(

[TallifTallonbrook]

Hey there J. It is splice not spice. I have wondered about those... After this video, I now know never to buy it. Also if you want extra security tie the wires in a square knot before you solder them.

[pedrocols]

I soldered 30 connections during the time it took you to do just one. What a joke. Soldering is so easy just learn how to solder and forget about all these gimmicks.
