That heat shrink tip is GOLD. Love it. Hope Santa is good to you... 🎅

WOW !! These three tips are fantastic !!! I have had to try to cope with these problems many times. I wish I had seen this video first! Another problem I've had is a somewhat short wire where even if I remember to put the tubing on the wire first, the heat in the very conductive copper wire causes the tubing to shrink prematurely; "premature shrinkage". But I think if I were to expand the tubing first as you showed, it would be far enough away from the wire not to shrink prematurely. So I only wish I had seen this video, like 5 or 8 years ago as it would have saved me a lot of headaches !! PS... how's the freezer situation going?

Great idea on the short wires, too, John. Stretching the tubing will definitely prevent "premature shrinkage" The fridge is doing fantastic. I just got a pure sine inverter and I plan to use it on that fridge. Coming up soon.

I had to figure a lot of this out the hard way, so I'm sure this video will help people. Using the other half of the connector as a heating is pretty critical to avoiding issues with melting the connector. Great stuff as always!
@Convoycrazy11 ай бұрын
This was a great video! 🤦🏼♂️ so many times I have forgotten the heat shrink .. I will try this tip next time. I have melted those connectors before, also, they seem quite sensitive to excess heat - I will also try that tip next time. Very good tips, thank you

thanks, very timely. Was struggling with a XT60 today and wondering what the proper way would be. No burns though, that would be stupid.......

May I ask which soldering iron you are using? Mine is not hot enough to solder 10 gauge wires unfortunately
@vuaeco Жыл бұрын
I have a Weller WES51 model. I believe it's 60 Watts. The big soldering tip also helps transfer the heat more efficiently.
