after half a century of research I've come to the conclusion if you need to join two wires together, twist them together and a spot of solder then a shrink shroud, nothing comes close to that solution, if you have to use push-in connectors solder them then crimp them and then a shrink shroud,
@@sicks6six Thanks for the input, I agree for joining two wires together yeah solder and heat shrink is pretty good, although arguably potentially brittle but in my experience I've never had a soldered joint crack on a road car. This video is more about connectors though rather than joining straight wires, and for these I generally wouldn't recommend adding solder as it adds time (and expense) and if crimped correctly it won't add any more reliability.
