    Remember when harbor freight had $5 sales on power tools? Drillmaster brand. I think they did a drill, 4" grinder, heat gun and maybe one other tool. I can't remember. Anyway, thats the heat gun i have and use it more than most people probably. I do body work for a living and use it a lot repairing bumper covers. Its probably the best $5 ive ever spent. Haha

    I bought the hydraulic crimper a few years ago and they were were a lot cheaper, but I would pay the new price in a heartbeat if mine breaks. I highly recommend it to anyone who makes batteryy cables up, does car audio, or anything with 4g+ cable.

    What I've found with seamed barrel electrical terminals is crimping on the backside sometimes opens the seam. One of the crimper jaws has a driving die (the part that pushes into the terminal, deforms the metal, and makes the crimp) the other jaw has a 'U' shaped receiver. When the driving die is jammed towards that receiver; the way the terminal deforms tries to pull the seam apart. A good demo is to crimp a non-tinned barrel on the seam, and then one from the back. The backside crimp will pull on the barrel in such a way that the seam tries to open up. It's tough to see / understand what I'm saying on a tinned barrel because the tinning usually holds the seam together. Hopefully what I'm saying makes sense!

    The correct way to crimp is opposite the seam. That comes from MECP, Mobile Electronics Certification Professionals. Also, when you used the hydraulic crimper you should turn the terminal so the crimp lands on the seam, not the sides.

  • @502deth

    if the seam is brazed shut, it may be ok to crimp on the seam, but as a matter of principal, ALWAYS crimp on the solid side. its how teh manufacturer lists them, therefore, it MAY be illegal depending on the codes and where/how its used.

    We have that same hydraulic crimper and had to use the next smaller die for the #6 cables. But dang, that thing worked awesome! With a little practice, you can get it pretty tight with one hand, to a point that you can let go and the wire won't just fall out and you can finish with both hands.

    Couldn’t agree more with literally everything you said here! I work for a high end European automaker and when it comes to wiring repairs, the only thing they allow you to use is their approved solder heat shrink ReyChem things. They use them from the factory and they’re awesome! However I have never EVER had any luck with getting a good joint out of them. I dunno how the factory does it, but no matter what, I couldn’t. They probably have a few million dollar machines that do it. Over the years I tried at least ten different heat guns and untold number of heat settings, distances, time, adapters, even the very pricey factory gun. No matter what I did I could never get a connection I was comfortable with. Same goes for all my coworkers too. So since I know how to solder and I think I’m pretty good at it, I took every single one of those solder shrink terminals and through them in the trash. I then soldered the old school way with dual wall adhesive lined heat shrink. Never ever had an issue with any repairs done like that! PS. At least in my world, there was two different types of that cloth tape. There was a tighter weave for wiring exposed to the elements, and a looser less expensive weave meant only to be used in the interior. Obviously you can use the tighter weave exterior tape in the interior but the looser weave interior tape will not last long when used on the exterior. I dunno how Amazon or other places sell it, but best to stick with just the one tighter weave and never worry about. The brand my company uses is Tesa. Damn good harness tape!

    Pistol grip automatic wire strippers. HF had Quinn now Pittsburgh. Last 3-6 months. Lifetime warranty. Get 2. Best thing ever for 12V wiring. Snapon and other tool trucks have them with lifetime warranties too. Also need some wire stripping pliers sometimes For crimping Knipex pliers wrench. Tremendous crushing force. Smooth jaws don’t break insulation. My current 12V wire tools are southwire cutters. Knipex pliers wrench. Pittsburgh pistol grip strippers. SnapOn wire stripper cutter crimpers and Snapon torch. RV tech. Lots of 12v wiring. And southwire DC clamp multi meter The big battery lugs. Yeah the big hydraulic is nice. But even working on RVs gets used once a week. And push come to shove the Knipex will crimp large connectors, just keep working closer. One of reasons for knipex over icon. The knipex pliers wrench have just that little bit of extra opening at each position.

    I'm a retired USAF Tactical Fighter Mechanic. I can't say enough how the 'right' tools make the job cleaner, and simpler and ultimately properly done, so certainly job well done on this breakdown. Your comment on the in-line solder connectors is absolutely true; the risk of heating the solder connector to its potential to tearing/burning and re-exposing the wire is a true concern. Only quality connectors should be used from quality manufactures, and then still, I go over them with heat shrink just because. * My only down side 'comment' would be to caution individuals over the 'Oyviny' Electrical tape. They are NOT UL or SA certified and therefor do NOT have the same protective properties as 3M does. Just something to consider on your OWN particular setting, use and decision making.

    First off, thank you sir for your service. It is because of you that we are free. I've always been impressed with the care and methodology of aircraft mechanics and machinists; even moreso a tactical fighter mechanic. Thank you for the compliments. Great point on the Oyviny cloth tape. My point there was not to be an insulator, but only as a harness wrap to keep all the wires contained and give a more aesthetic look. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

    For the ratcheting crimpers and connectors? Why do you recommend non insulated over insulated? I would think you'd get more use with insulated. Not all connections and be used with non insulated, but can be used with insulated. The insulated heatshrink connectors with the ratcheting crimpers are great. I guess you can use heatshrink tubing with non insulated if you need to, i just find the insulated connectors better, especially the heatshrink ones where the glue melts and seals them. I do have heatshrink tubing with the sealing glue, but the outside is clear so you can see everything, but i never use it because i just use the heatshrink connectors. Also, i crimp on the seam. Seems to be a better crimp. I always thought they were made to crimp on the seam. Edit: ah. I asked too soon. You did answer my question in the vid lol. I get that you can see it better, but ive never had a problem w the heatshrink connectors. They're transparent so i can see the crimp. I dont like the cheaper non heatshrink ones. You cant see the crimp, and i always felt they never gave as good as a crimp, and they arent water tight
