Love these DIY videos. It might be worth mentioning the two different ways to crimp connectors using the crimpers. There are a "pin/cup" and a "cup/cup" crimping area on the crimpers. Some crimpers have non-insulated and insulated labels on the tool. You appear to be using the "pin/cup" slot for insulated connectors and you run the risk of puncturing the insulation and should be used for non-insulated connectors and the "cup/cup" slot for the insulated ones you show in the video. Hope that helps.

Very well explained and shown. Just a little recommendation: A Western Union Connectiion (sometimes called Bell Connection) is a way better way to solder two wires. At the shown twist-method the wires route into the same direction. One wire has to be bend 180 degrees. The copper might become brittle at this point, when it gets older. Three advantages of a Western Union Connection: 1) The copper is only twisted, but not (over-)bend. 2) Even the twisted wires are able to take some pulling (before soldering). 3) The connection is thinner, because the insulated material never runs parallely to the soldered wire. Matt talked about a following soldering video. This might be a good chance to show the differences and advantages. Cheers, TOBi 👋😉

Very informative! Small note, dont twist the strands when crimping. Best crimp quality is met when the strands can stack perfectly. When twisting you create air gaps between the strands.

Not to split hairs but the jacket around the wire conductor isn't shielding, it's insulation. Other than that this is a good tutorial for novices. If you're just starting out with soldering make sure you buy the 60/40 tin/lead rosin core solder mentioned in this video, not lead-free solder that you'll also find on the shelves. You might think the lead-free solder is the better "eco" choice but 60/40 solder is easier to work with and makes for a more durable connection.

For automotive apllication soldering is not the best way of connecting two wires. Especially under the hood or in other places where heat can be an issue. Crimping is much more safer and bullet proof. You can solder inside of the car, on stereo components and such stuff. I don't say it can't be done but crimping is much more safer and practical.

always put your shrink tube on one of the wires before you solder. you're almost always soldering two wires already connected to other things, and forgetting to put it on there before you complete the solder is just an annoying rookie mistake to make :)

Solder can and does crack, hence why airplane electrics are all crimped. Also invest in a set of ratchet crimpers, besr 20-25 I ever spent, they give you a far more controlled and consistent crimp and are easier on your hands. Glue heatshrink is worth the investment, glue stops all moisture and you just heat the glue shrink till its shrunk and the glue starts bubbling out of the end

After years of building custom scientific diagnostic machines, please, ONLY use solder or braising to splice wires in a car. Crimp plus shrink works mostly. Mostly, but after years we learned the hard way that crimp is just not durable enough.

@@rizaanjappie sure anything is possible. We often worked in conditions exceeding typical engine bay temp with many instruments clustered together in a confined space. Soldered joints always worked best. Solder melts in the 400-700 F range. 200F is rarely found in an engine bay, not nearly enough to affect solder. Plus we always shrinked over the solder, which probably minimizes vibration

The "shielding" he speaks of, is SHEATHING.. Its a layer of insulation. Shielding is a foil or wire braid that goes around sheathing, with another layer of sheathing over that... Which is a SHIELDED wire.when talking about wiring, its SUUUPER easy for people to accidentally mix up these words (and others). No offense at all to the poster, but he seemed to use the word "shielding" only, which peads me to think, thats just what he calls sheathing. They arent the same! (For u folks out there, trying to learn about shielding or shielded wire). Again though, VERY common mistake in wording Lol and i am picking on him for this part (just for fun! I have to haha! Not trying to be mean.. just, thought it was kinda funny!)... About his wire strippers... "It give u a very accurate means of where u strip the wire, depending on where u place the wire" IM SORRY! 😂 even a knife will strip a wire, depending on where u place it, to strip a wire... The thing that actually bugs me about what he showed, is that he had an automatically adjusting stripper, but is does NOT have a stop! If u want ACCURATE stripping legnth (throughout each and every wire u strip), get some self adjusting strippers that HAVE a wire stop! ...if all else fails, ur teeth will accurately strip a wire, wherever u place ur teeth on a wire, for stripping
