The little ferrel on the stranded wires is there to stop all of the strands from breaking when you tighten the connector. I have lots of larger sized ferrels but always run out of the little ones. So I use crimp connectors. I cut the end off and just use the crimp end of it as a ferrel

Also you should never tin wires that are going into screw terminals - over time, the solder flows even though it's cold (it's a soft alloy) and your connections loosen up. Tinning wires going into screw terminals is a BIG NO NO

Enjoying the series, but I'll be the party pooper who says soldiering stranded wire for crimps or screw terminals isn't the safest route. As current passes through, the connection will warm up, the solder will weaken a bit and the connection will loosen a bit, over time that can lead shorts/sparks/fires. Currently (ha) a bit of fuss going on in the 3D printing community as cheaper machines do this, and more expensive ones use crimped ferrules. Stay safe!

@@danielcotnoir3363 It may not be a danger, but it's not fine. That's like saying "looking directly in the barrel of a gun and pulling the trigger is fine, as long as it isn't loaded". Sure, as long as you're very sure it's not a problem, but it's still not a good idea to be comfortable with something that could be dangerous in a different situation. Also, the current may be low, but that doesn't prevent the solder from deforming over time, resulting in a bad connection. Maybe less dangerous on a low current circuit, but still pretty darn annoying if you're halfway up the elevator and it stops working because the connection was broken due to the solder.

[16:22] LOL, I have used a pair of those for almost 35 years.... I think they are great. BUT by this time the stripping holes are pretty worn and sloppy, so I had to by a new pair which reversed the stripping and crimping areas. I hate it. I prefer the leverage I had on the old ones. (the "pull' on the old ones is from near the hand, and not near the end of the tool on the new ones.)

For pulling wire and sliding on strain reliefs and grommets you can also use some dish soap with a little water, cheaper than lube. As for your yellow handle crimp tool, I have used the exact same one for thirty years with zero problems. The best thing about it is the screw cutter portion, great for shortening various screws for electrical work. Did you replace skip tooth on laying red?
