You should drop an affiliate link in the description for those connectors. I’ll click and buy

Smart man! 😬🙏
@@flyryde just click the link and got him coming. Cool video. I’m going to be doing some lights and accessories for my jeep here in the near future these will work out perfect.
@@HowtoAutomotive you’re the man! Me and Jon need to come check that out since I have a lighting channel and his is about Jeeps 😅
That's why I'm grateful for this lil invention. That and the solder paste in the syringe. Remember I told you that my last experience with a soldering iron, I inadvertently held it as if it was a pen. Despite the complaints people have made about these connectors, I have never found any fault and never a need to revisit the connection if something doesn't seem right. What you did is the right way and the same way I use them. NOT. A. SINGLE. FAILURE.
I’m thrilled that they’ve revised the composition of the self solder heat shrink connectors. 20 ish years ago when I discovered them the heat gun would blow through the heat shrink exposing the solder before it would even have a chance to melt. I’m using the twist on connections that it’s possible. Have you found a solution if you had to splice in and lengthen a wiring harness?
Absolutely love them
Next time I use them I will put that twist in. When I used them before they didn't work well. Thanks for the tip!
I bought some of those butt connector with solder from vled to have when I do some diy wiring.
Not all brands are created equal, I find the name brands are more consistent. UA-camr bigclive has a great quick video using some cheap ones, and he cuts them in half to show the penetration is fine for auto use.
love what you do I was wondering if you could teach os how to clear some Subaru wrx 2015+
I will wait for your reply god bless you
Always do the twist man. I even put a bit of flux on the twist, slide on the connector and a piece of extra heat shrink. Get the initial connection down and strong, then make it prettier with the extra heat shrink. Done.
These are great, just gotta learn their language I guess lol.
Beginner here, might be a stupid question but where did you wire the demon eye into so that it got power? Thanks!!
Keep in mind most factory pins and connectors are crimp on.
Fanning is good, twisting is not. Twisting limits solder penetration and can add resistance.
I want you to
Make a angel eye ghost circuit for me I will pay you for the same please can you help me
These do NOT give proper flow through of solder. The connection is around the cables, not throughout, resulting in a poor connection compared to using a soldering iron
How can I measure how poor or proper the connection is?
The solder encases the strands of intertwined cable tightly together meaning that you don't have a substantial loss of 'flow' as it will run directly through the wires and not any solder that may be in between.
If you mean flow of meltong solder through the gaps in the wires then it is only the same as tinning a wire as you tin the outside only, you wouldn't go spreading each spline of wire out to tin individually.
If you have two soldered wires together with a poor type of solder then that will reduce your 'flow'. These are an easier way to create a tight strong connection. As the solder melts you are meant to either be turning the heat gun around the connection or rolling the connection in you fingers so that all of the perimeter is heated evenly that way it won't end up more on the top half of the cable as the example in the video with it being on a stand, although even the example results in a strong connection.
If you want to test the 'flow' (which I suspect you actually mean the current running through the wire) then put your meters on Ohm setting and test either side of the connections, test a single cable first for the standard resistance value then do the same with the twist and connector (as in the video) then repeat with the good old fashioned way of soldering two cables together and see which has the lowest resistance value as that will result in the best flow/current through the cable.
Keep up the good work @FlyRyde 🔥
@@p-co11 🔥fire ass answer to that! Expect a short video doing exactly as you said. Ideally it pisses off half the internet and there’s thousands of nerd comments arguing, but I’d settle for simply knowing first hand and sharing what I find with the homies 👊
@@flyryde testing voltage drop across a connection is far more accurate than checking resistance in Ohms. Unwanted resistance is what you’re looking for, but any voltage drop on a live circuit is simply more accurate.
@@flyryde Test it. Take some samples, use the connector like you have, then cut it right in the middle. See where the solder is.
Typically, these cheap, low melt solder connectors don't allow you to get the wire within the cable hot enough for solder to flow through them, leaving just a layer of solder around the outside of the intended connection. For an optimal connection, you NEED flow through of solder, aim for and IPC standard.
In response to P - Co. If you have "Flow" which is referring to the flow of solder in creating a wetted joint, with the correct amount of heat, you shouldn't have to touch any part of the connection, ever. Physics (heat) will draw the solder throughout the connection evenly. Flow is purely in relation to "The flow of solder" nothing to do with current as you have misunderstood.
