Add Heatshrink on those alligator clips. I've seen some add electrical tape to the end they're not working on as well....

I did it to show what happens to try and show others how to be safe! Great tip I should add some now. Just to be even more safe! Thanks for that tip man! Bad things happen when we get to comfortable with electricity!

Any other tips or video ideas are appreciated! Have a nice day, and have fun!

Great tip!

Bad soldering job. The connector should always be heated with the soldering iron, to bring it up to the melting temp of the solder. You then hold the solder to the connector until the solder melts. I see too many people who just melt the solder on the tip of the soldering iron and apply it to the surface to be soldered. Doing it that way, doesn't insure that both the surface to be soldered, and the solder reach the same temp.

Thanks for the information! This is an older video and seems to hold up fine in my speed run cars. I will post more videos soon. Thanks for your feedback!

@@upperleftusarc Old video but what you're doing as he suggested is cold welding. You also tinned cold on the connector also, you need a higher wattage iron also need some need strippers lol

@reznya2700 Thanks with was an old video at the time, but normally, I heat it up with a torch (connector), then heat it up with the iron and solder to tin it. I have multiple automotive wire strippers, but if you do wiring for years, a razor blade work's just fine with flush cuts! I need to post some updated content! Thanks for watching! What are you working on?

If it takes longer than 7-10 Seconds to solder a 10awg wire into a qs8 you don't have enough Heat Along wilth a contaminated & Worn soldering tip & various other issues going on that I see in this video!!.. .
