Haven't heard that line in a while... it's like hearing an old favorite song playing on the radio. You smile and crank it up!😄 Great review and very professional-looking results, Kyle! Cheers, brother. Have a great weekend!

[@Thefabforums]

thanks man

[@jeremydale7263]

The timing on this couldn't be better. I am about to start my first ever harness for my C10, drawing some inspirations from your old Goose video and this comes out, perfect! Never even thought of that!

[@minhster714]

I have that same label maker! works pretty well. Glad to see "you need this tool" back!

[@phillipchambers8487]

Yep, I have been using the Rhino for years. This was our go to Labeler in the Telecomm Industry! It is awesome to be able to Label your Heat Shrink, thus labeling all your individual Cables/Wires. Great Video for people who don’t know about it.

[@16matthewb16]

Crazy good timing. I was trying to label wires neatly yesterday. One of the motors had these on them and I thought it was just something they had made in bulk. So excited that I can make my own. Already ordered

[@TrevorVera]

I've been looking at those for a while glad you're featuring it

[@RK-kn1ud]

And after you get it all neat, labeled, and installed, you remember that other wire you forgot about....never fails!

[@Thefabforums]

lol...cross my fingers

[@AMetalWorks]

Lol It happens every single time but still well worth the effort and expense. Sometimes it happenstwo or 3 times over lol. You want to impress the hell out of pro builders. A super clean wiring job will definitely get their attention. Many would be surprised what people will pay for that service too.

[@JanutoloJon]

What type of heat gun should you use for this?

[@nathanfaria312]

​@JanutoloJon a hot one

[@Dedarded]

I have had one of these for a while, and it has made wire labeling so clean.

[@chrisloncar6442]

Thanks for the vid, I have a boat to rewire and I saw these on another vid but didn't know what they used to label the wires. Makes for a cleaner look not having tags or tape with bad hand writing on them.

[@palmercustomgarage681]

Awesome! I’ll be getting all of those.

[@TheFeralEngineer]

I got the epson px900. Almost no margin and the customer service is amazing.

[@jackantoine5185]

Asked too soon. Found them. Thanks

[@zxrjimmy1]

At last,,, a Friday fool video, 🕺made my Friday a real Friday👍👍👍👍

[@ariyanadumon4549]

Damn, I did this the hard way lol. I used a normal label maker by Dymo and printed the labels and put them under clear heat shrink. It looks pretty, but this would have been easier lol.

[@SerenoOunce]

At $30-50 for 5' of heat shrink, NOPE! Sticking with Dymo.

[@kingavegarage8722]

DYMO Rhino series are great, Im an IT professional, used one for several years their great! They have really come down in price over the years.

[@damnitdang]

Whatsvupbwith all the bad reviews slow it not working or just breaking? Think it's just user error or some components are just brittle?

[@vr6swp]

We had at least two - three of those were I worked 2005 - 2016. Wish I woulda made one disappear now. At the time I thought all you could do with them was label shelves and bins

[@TheFeralEngineer]

What are the minimum margin sizes on individual shrink prints? The brother i just got is a material hog

[@tookitogo]

If you haven’t already, make absolutely sure you use the “chain print” mode whenever possible. That cuts down label/tube waste immensely when printing multiple labels/tubes in a row (regardless of whether they’re all identical or individual).

[@GrindhousePerformance]

"So you can label harness... harnesses?" lmao glad to see you doing another tool episode Kyle!

[@heimlichhotrods]

I’ve been using a standard labeler and wrapping it around the wires forever 🤦🏻I need that tool👍😎🏎💨💨💨

[@bradhartmeister2717]

Miss it's Friday fool !!!!!!!!! This just made my week !!!!!

[@ui4lh]

$20 for 5 feet of shrink label, the machine wastes 6" on each print like they do for the regular labels lol so 5 feet is basically 2 1/2

[@lertsomboon1481]

Thanks for this... Its FRIDAY FOOL... missed seeing these

[@MrSlowestD16]

Pro looking results right there.

[@lewisdeclouette6342]

Wow that's nice might need that

[@280zone]

I stepped it up to one of these about 4 years ago and love it. My advice is think through everything before "making" it a harness. Also, buy a heat gun and quit using lights that will melt and soot these labels.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

Got one fool... It do make for a nice tool. I like the shirt... better than the ice cream truck for shore! LOL

[@womackke]

They only sell the heat shrink for dymo rhino model. The laber is 75$ not too bad. but wont work with current dymo labeler. as far as I can tell. Had me excited for a minute

[@shanewright6958]

That's one cool tool 👍👍🇨🇱

[@JanutoloJon]

As an electrician this is essential.

[@kvong615]

I have the same labeler. How did you make it to print the whole label without space at the front and the end of the label

[@Sochmo18]

Do they just work for larger diameter wires or do they have heat shrink in the 1/16” size or so?

[@georgenettlesjr1466]

I want one to do colored custom 2/0 heat shrink labels

[@jackantoine5185]

Where do find good shrinkwrap connectors. I can only find junk. Manufacturers name. Appreciated

[@billdberger7407]

If all else fails you can't go wrong ordering them from McMaster Carr

[@tookitogo]

TE Connectivity is kinda the gold standard. Easily ordered from DigiKey.

[@shinigamilee5915]

Label harneses. 🤣 Ha, i'm not the only one that gets tongue tied on that.

[@neffk]

nice auto focus

[@garyparker2969]

Some How I Don't Think THAT Would Be Feasible On 1/25th Scale Models Kyle 😉😉😉😉, But Thanks For Sharing. 🤗🤗🤗n God Bless All.

[@williamsalazar2536]

I read that you can print heat shrinks label from Dymo 160, is it true?

[@johannlourens6183]

I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great kzbin.infoUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.

[@krtknowles]

People can already tell I do my wiring myself… trust me

[@dubCanuck1]

Goddammit. Rewatched this and injured my credit card......

[@shawng7902]

If you own a Harley and ever ever want to work on bars, switch wiring or maybe unstall bars. Buy that wire loom 500%!!! Dont use all the chain and garbage online. Use 500 paracord tied or taped to this kinda loom. More you gently pull on it the tighter it holds wires. Trim it to fit and throw some shrink tube, or I use cloth tape on the ends. Will look like Harley dealer themselves ripped you off.

[@danoldsbb4558]

holly shit !!!!

[@justar6865]

Nice

[@jeremyhanna3852]

All can say is keep the tricycle motors away from the labeling machine or EVERYTHING will have labels on it and u will be out of label material

[@mmyrvold5494]

ok!

[@DioDellaMuerte]

You don't show the use of this machine
