Solder connectors

Anyone try these?  I ordered a pack to try after watching some clip on YouTube.

I have used them a few times. Kinda hard to hold the wires and connector and heat at the same time. So I would shrink just one wire in with a small bit of the end of the connector to grab one wire. When I do that I use a small butane torch that I can focus the heat in that small area. A heat gun does do good for the rest of it.

I bought some a while back but haven't tried them yet......I'll have a lot of wiring to do on the hot rod when it comes time so worth looking at all options. Let us know what you think when you get them.....

I have more wiring on the bus to do and hoping these make it a little better.

I have used them, they work well in the right circumstances. Like any solder connection if there is regular movement of the wire on either side of the "solder joint" the wires will sometimes break at that point. If the joint is pretty stable with not much movement they seem to be fine. The shrink wrap portion does seem to support the solder joint area better than your old school solder joint taped up, which almost always seems to fail eventually in an automotive application.

I generally use the weather sealed shrink wrap crimp versions in most automotive situations I get into but they can be a pain as well depending on what kind of crimpers you have and how tight the space is. And they can be prone to not getting a good crimp as well at times.
