Great video but id be concerned that the wire isn't tinned. What about some thread lock? Had you any issues since installing this splice?

great to see another common sense solution , my booster cable, 25 ft, 4 gauge was on sale at $12.49 at Princess Auto(Canada). I really hate spending $ when I do not have to, thanks for video....

I did this years ago to extend my tiller mounted trolling motors, kept the terminal clamps on. I will tell you that any connections with un tinned copper will corrode.

I added dielectric grease into a crimp connector. Every wire slid out out of the crimp because of the slickness of it. Very frustrating.. It led me to this youtube search. Lol. I'm gonna try these without the grease, or add it to the outside only.

I do like the splice connector. That's exactly what I was looking for, but I wonder how long the wire will last since it's not marine wire? I always thought you needed to use tinned copper for marine wire.
