This is a proper automotive splice and the only way it should be done

YES! You are so correct....and yes....I also know I'm replying to a post that's 1 year old and to a vid that's 3 years old! But that's the great thing about these videos is that they are correct and will stay relevant. Being from the car audio side of things, I have battled the "solder Gods" for the last 30 plus years when it has came to "Crimp vs Solder Wars"! A proper crimp is the only way to take care wiring solutions....even the FAA agrees! They only allow crimping when it comes to aircraft and wiring. I had won solder guy tell me it was because I didn't want to take the time to solder the wire job in the discussion at the time. I told him he was crazy! It would take longer to do a proper crimp job than solder anyways! I'm just glad we have videos like this here on KZbin now.

Do you have the model brand of the cheaper crimp tool?
@mavenperformance9 ай бұрын
I think those came from an auto parts store, they are not very good because the joints in the pliers are sloppy- there are better crimpers that are also inexpensive that are non ratcheting- look for a pair that have that shape / profile in the crimp section and has good reviews.

@@mavenperformance Im asking because I have already 2 different ones and they dont work at all, I bought your crimps as well. Would be awsome if you added some cheap ones to your website because I bet the expensive are worth it but when you dont use em often cheaper ones have to do.

LOVED the bonus tip! Do you have any recommendations on what size terminal I need to purchase to fit two wires? Say two 18 gauge wires

And have you tried crimping regular uninsulated spade type terminals? The ones that typically reside in relay connectors. Want to daisy chain/pigtail the power :)

Thanks for taking the time to make this videos, learning a lot. Question for ya, I have the same ratcheting crimpers and on some of the larger open barrel splice connectors, they seem too narrow. They don’t crimp the entire open barrel connector over leaving me with sharp ends sticking up. Is there another crimp tool for these larger open barrel splice connectors or a way to get the whole thing to crimp over the wire?
@mavenperformance3 жыл бұрын
You might try crimping the splice and shifting the tool over and crimping again if you are not getting the full width- let us know if that works for you. Make sure to use quality heat shrink over the connection to ensure no edges of the splice protrude through.

Tried your suggestion out today, seemed to work pretty good. Thank you! Feel like there got to be a crimper out there with a wider jaw just to get a cleaner crimp with one motion...will keep a look out. Thanks again

@@mavenperformance I still have this issue the previous commenter was experiencing. Really wish someone would make a crimper specifically for these splices, with wider jaws for the large size. I've searched everywhere and it seems there is no hand tool for the large size, only bench top machines.

@@Nocturnal_Autohave you tried a 10awg open barrel crimp, or are you using 12-14 crimp on it? Trying to figure out which tools to buy. The open barrel battery cable crimpers are way too wide.
