My favorite is soldering and then using the heat shrink..especially fun when you solder and then remember you forgot to slide the heat shrink tube onto the wire. DOH

Oh thank goodness, a video that's direct, useful and clear. I just want to repair the cord to the LED lights that I hit with the lawnmower last year. Your video was perfect-just the right amount of info without a dissertation. I simply want to be able to use the lights and not electrocute the neighborhood. The heat shrink tubing will be exactly what I need. Since there are two wires I'll put a larger one over them both. If I can remember to thread it on first and I'll keep the cord off the ground this time.🙄 Thanks so much.

Thank you for such a thorough and well informed video! This helped so much!

Hello Jay, great training video for everyone watching. You have knowledge and special way of sharing, making learning easy. Take care and keep being awesome my friend.

You were made for doing KZfaq videos buddy! Excellent!! Thank you!! I prefer heat shrink tube. I take the wire and half it on each side. Then I twist the four segments individually. Then together and heat shrink wrap. I hope you can visualize.

In over my head trying to install an aftermarket stereo in my car and this was incredibly helpful

Thanks for doing this, We needed to know how to splice wires in school and you just helped me do it. Your so good at these things :)

Great video. I love the advice at the end. funny stuff

Good stuff! Repairing wife's stand mixer speed control arm (a different youtube video 😜) and accidentally damaged the power wire on reassembly. Your video and a trip to Harbor Freight and we're eating homemade bread again.

Thanks for making this! Thankfully, I have guitar fingers so messing with wires hardly ever hurts my hands anymore 😂

I was working with my electrics in my guitar and one of the wires got cut accidentally and this video helped very much thank you

Thank you for the uploading

Tip: after cutting the insulation around strands of wire, before pulling off the cut insulation twist it while pulling it off. It will twist the wire strands nicely.

Great demo and informative as always, thanks Jay! 👍👍

I have a broken wire in a light fixture and my dog that loves me so much chewed the wiring of a portable AC. Thank you for this video.

Very helpful! Thanks!

great stuff really like this gentleman! god bless!

Very helpful, thx!

thank u daddy waddy this actually really helped me and my friend ❤❤❤

I prefer the Wago wire connectors ... Good vid and Aloha from across the creek 😂😅🤣

great video!

Look at that cute chameleon on your shoulder!!😍😍😍 He is camouflaged with the plants behind you! 🦖

👍👍 another great video 👍👍👍

Love your videos

For me is the first one because its very easy and simple and i have the materials that it needs.

I like soldering the wire with shrink tubing the best because I know I will not have possible bad connection issues with oxidation of the copper wires.

I have been using, with good success, the shrink connectors with a band of solder inside the connector. Using a heat gun, the solder melts as the tubing shrinks.

I was trimming shrubs by my electric meter and accidentally cut the thick, solid metal grounding wire that goes down into the ground. What kind of connector can I use to splice that back together? Thanks!

Unless it is wiring for my house where I use pushin, waygo, or wirenuts, I always use the heatshrink method but I solder the wires before I add the heatshrink.

Salamat lods sa tutorial

A woman thanks you for this great video!

Thanks Jay

i have a old caloric oven that needs a new hot surface igniter in oven. i didn't order part yet but if i need to cut wires from the old one to tie in the new one, how would i make sure its oven temp resistant? I'm guessing there is a special connectors for that? or would they give me a long enough lead to go to back of stove to connect it at board (or where ever it goes)?

I used heat shrink tube with solder in the middle and water proof in one.

👏☺️🤗❤️💚👍😍 watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

I want to convert a hanging hardwired light fixture (multiple arms) to a plug in with a switch. The cords i can find are 2 prong though. What do i do with the ground wire coming from the fixture if the cord only has 2 wires?

I only use tape and have never had trouble, so I would say it can be permanent

Good video but I feel soldering is the best and most reliable way of joining two wires together

Soldered connection will never come apart. Great for auto repairs where vibration is a factor.

Love the waterproof butt connectors, I think some even come with solder.

It's working

When cutting thermostat wire it’s preferred to use the white string inside to pull the casing down and then cut the top of the wires by an inch under where you started. Using wire strippers directly can cause breaks into the wires inside the casing and a low voltage short down the line.

...a soldered connection followed up with epoxy filled shrink tubing.....can't beat it....JMHO...🙂

Number 9 i like most for small wire like 22 awg

how do I splice say two 12 gauge or AWG wires into 1 12 gauge AWG wire? As well as protect to and seal it via heat shrink it or plastic dip it or both or electrical tape it? Or for speakers

Another tip is heat shrinks only shrink so much so use the correct one for the gauge of wire you are using.

Thank u bro

I use Raychem military-grade solder sleeves .

With the tip at 4:40 on twisting stranded wire, it's better practice to twist it clockwise. When you connect multiple wires with a wire nut, you twist the nut on clockwise, and twisting the individual stranded wire in the same direction keeps the stranded wire from unwinding when you screw on the nut.

Is there any better insulation for air conditioner lines than that crappy foam that falls apart in a year or two, as seen in the video?

You think I can use Wagco connectors to connect electric guitar components together?

What is the best technique for not losing any current?

You forgot a link to the orange "electrical coupling"... like an "electrical SharkBite fitting"... 3:40

The throttle to my e scooter snap my circuit wires clean in half and was wondering with these tips is it possible I can reconnect it?

Using the hair dryer or heat gun can be a better alternative than lighters.

Could this work with a vga cable?

he didnt warn you but the push in connector types can be permenant so you better hope you have enough slack if you mess up

Hello my good buddy. I commented on your last video but it probably went to spam I somehow missed the video and didn't see it for a week later probably..we are doing pretty good me and Arnold I have been working on a 99 jaguar vanden plas my aunt gave me she quit driving seven years ago and it's been sitting she gave it to me and I took a car dolly and went and pulled it home it wasn't getting gas and I took out the gas tank and put in a new fuel pump and got her going I got to get new tires for it they are dry rotted and I'm going to go through it end to end and see what else needs attention Arnold likes it I never had a jaguar before I love all the wood grain inside of it and the little fold down table tops on the back seat I guess I will probably just will use it for a weekend car it's kind of neat different for sure the weather has been very hot 🔥 here but today and yesterday been nice Arnold is doing pretty good and I'm very thankful for this tell everyone we said hello 👋 good buddy good to see you again Jay I guess you have been staying busy to my friend..sending lots of love down to you all good buddy take it easy buddy.

👍👍👍

Ceramic wire connectors for high-heat locations.

Which method is best for 110 ac household wiring?

Solder your wires together on the shrink tubing connection FIRST before shrinking it

I want that shirt! Come on! Where'd you get it?!💪

Truest

Where i can buy the copper alone? Mr jay

Use a heat gun or a hairdryer on high for the heat shrink stuff...

If someone can please tell me how do I know what wire to use when connecting two of them? Say I want to cut a USB power cable and extended how do I know what wire do I have to buy. Or It's a power cord of a laptop how do I extended. I heard that if you use wrong wire it can heat and melt

Will this work on a scooter

👍

I've never seen heat shrink without solder, that's...ghetto. Most of these connections are temporary or indoor use only. Coming from automotive and marine, everything is crimp and heat shrink. Motorsport quality wiring takes it a step further but now you're getting into specialty stuff that's not practical for a normal DIYer. The waterproof butt connectors (when used with a proper crimp tool, ratcheting preferred) are the only method in this video that is acceptable to make a connection that will withstand both the elements and vibration, permanently. Solder and adhesive lined 3:1 heat shrink is good for weatherproof connections in low vibration environments. Solder sticks (heat shrink with solder inside) are about the most cost-effective way because all you need is the solder stick and a heat source to make a weatherproof connection, but they are not as robust as a properly crimped connection.

i have 8 very small cable in my headphone cable and only has tape i don't have space to tape it normally

And not a drop of solder was used in this video lol

Is there another technique to remove the cover of the wire???

Anyone here can help how to join a 1mm wire from LED bulb to 2.5 mm wire supply, please.

ya only mistake is the lighter flame is far too close lol

1:30 can i get an explanation as to why?

if possible i havea question for you I'm going to make video maybe u can point me in the right direction

As for the AC thermostat line, straight cools will have 2-3 wires, heat pumps will have 6-8

that super old method of heat shrink tubing where you hook the wires together is not code and dangerous. trust me if its something important your wiring or could cause a fire dont connect wire that way the heat shrink tube is just there to mask the looks and help prevent moisture. that thing could be pulled apart your better off with other wiring methods unless its solderd

Twisting wires together and then using heat shrink is a bodgers paradise! Solder them properly ffs

What's with the latter statement I don't get it? Why would I sleep there?

That funny , under a ladder, so they think you fell down..

#9 is a very weak connection.

wouldnt soldering the wires also be a method

Taped applied on 2:45 is Horrible.

I was about to record my fitness videos and my bunny chewed my webcam camera cable! -_-

All those gobs of electrical tape...how attractive, NOT!

cannot see most of the video, please redo, with camera actually shooting the work done, thanks

Plain' NNNNN. SIMPLE.......UUUUU. SHOULD RUN. 4. PRESIDENT
