Video came out a couple years ago, so maybe comments aren't even monitored at this point; but that won't diminish how thankful I am at coming across it today. Without saying a word, sir, you said so much. I can now repair two indoor fountains thanks to your spade quick disconnect lesson (didn't even know those things exist); and replace my speaker wire the cat chewed up, courtesy of your ferrule lesson. Also thankful for your sizing (gauge & color coding) lesson no doubt foundational to both projects (or any electrical repair, for that matter), and for the links to your tools & kits. Content aside, your camera work is exceptional. Most grateful.

Technically, you've botched it if you even _knick_ a single strand in stripping stranded wire for use with a crimp connector. If you can avoid knicking (or severing) a strand, so much the better. That's the target, anyway.

No, not recommended for high current or high temperature usage. Basically meant more for DC applications and for home and car audio cabling. The terminals and the sleeves are also too soft mechanically so use with care. There are other methods for AC, high current or high temperature

Thank you. Very helpful. I bought some red forks, and it seems like the width is not strictly standard.... #4, #6 “stud size.” I want to connect these to a standard terminal. How do I translate width of fork to stud size?

Hi Ken! My Fork Terminals set (amzn.to/3nTFikv) is in Metric. From 02:05 to 02:13 in the video, you'll see that I take a Blue Fork from the Right-most box, which is a M8. You'll be also be able to see in the close-up shots that it's written "16-14" (Wire Gauge) and "2-8". The "2-8" is actually for M8 screw size, the second number. I can't figure out what's the first number "2" is though... My kit has M4, M5, M6 and M8 Studs Forks I'm expecting yours to somehow show the SAE Stud size, but in case you're using metrics ones: #2, #3, #4 are used with M2. #5 M3. #6 M3.5. #8 would be M4. #10, #12 and #14 would fall in the M5. 1/4" would be M6. 5/16" M8 and so on. "us standard stud size to metric stud size" Google Search will give you even more results! I hope this helps!

Yellow: AWG 12-10. 600v / 48amps Blue: AWG 16-14. 600v / 27amps Red: AWG 22-18. 600v / 19amps The connectors allow thicker wires to be used, which also allows higher amperage. AWG is American Wire Guide/Gauge - for the thickness of wires

Respectful question here and not looking to be critical-really. I may be completely wrong, if so let me know. At 6:29 (time stamp) in the video you use a wire cutting & stripping tool to cut and strip a STRANDED red wire (red & black wire together). Several seconds later at 6:31 in the video you grab the same red wire's insulation, twist the insulation and remove it revealing the bare stranded wire underneath the insulation. Respectfully, it appears to me, that there are several broken strands of the red wire that fall out from the insulation immediately after you pull the red insulation off and discard it. I thought I saw the same thing happening at other times in this video where you are using the same wire cutting & stripping tool. Are my observations wrong? If not, what is going on with your cutting & stripping? A properly sized stripping TOOL (stranded or solid wire) matched with a properly sized (stranded or solid) WIRE should ALWAYS lead to a clean cut through that wire's insulation WITHOUT cutting or damaging any of the actual wire(s) (solid or stranded) underlying that insulation. I was taught that if I inadvertently damaged the underlying wire (solid wire) or cut a strand or more of the underlying wire (stranded wire) that now "damaged" wire was rendered unusable and must be discarded. It is unsuitable because that "damaged" wire no longer had the "required" CM (circular mills) or total wire diameter that was specified when the wire was manufactured to whatever standard were prescribed for its intended use (automotive, military, aerospace, scientific or marine would be several examples). It is the amount of wire, diameter, present that determines that wire's current carrying capability. If I lose strands of the wire (or nick/damage the underlying solid wire) due to my cutting too deep past the wire's insulation and into the wire itself, I have "reduced the size" of the wire thereby ruining it.

That's the second number stamped on the ring. In the video the blue one is marked 2-6, which would be suitable for M2 to M6 studs (metric for those, this is roughly 1/4" stud)
