Finally! A tutorial on wire splicing that explains things clearly and succinctly, without irritating background music and without taking so long it feels like watching grass grow. Good job!

Hello @Flashback502, Thank you for your tutorial! It was clearly explained to two non-electrically oriented women. Your video helped my daughter and me reconnect the power cord to her internet router after her kitten chewed it up. The Western union twist worked!!!! 🎉
I learned the western union splice in grade 9 in 1975. Been using it ever since. Thanks for the reminder. I think the shop teacher may have called it a western bend, though it was a while ago, lol. Thumbs up!
Perfect! No BS just straight information.
I can't believe companies like Wirefy don't have a demonstration like this on their channel. Thank you for your video, sir!

Excellent tutorial. Shows a solid way to avoid the brittle joins that soldering can give. Sure soldering will be stronger, but this is pretty solid anyway, and really - if wires are under enough stress that soldering is required to keep it together - after a splice like this - well you've got bigger problems lol Thanks heaps, my man! It's given me confidence to have a go at cutting and re-joining cabling for a rather expensive headset (which the manufacturer won't just supply a replacement cable that I could solder on...bastards! lol). I've done other solder-less joins in the past that just weren't as solid - I can't wait to give this a try.

I like the Western Union splice. I wish I had seen this prior to using the crimp-on butt connectors, because I don't have a lot of faith in them with stranded wire (though I did tin the wires with solder as a precaution). This would have been easier as I am using shrink wrap on top of the butt connectors anyway. Plus, I didn't know if it would be safe to use a lighter, but the hair dryer I tried sure wasn't doing the trick! (I'll keep the lighter moving, of course.) Thanks, good video which gets directly to the point without a lot of chitchat.

That was a perfect demo. Thank you! My dad always had me take the two bare ends, twist them each lightly, trim each to length for appropriate wire nut. Insert both ends exactly evenly and twist until ends catch the threading. Then, twist tight. Complete by wrapping in electrical tape. Is the heat shrink a stronger bond physically for the cord? Is it a better connection to conduct electricity without heat build up? Is one way better than the other?

Tape can come lose overtime, but will work fine for a lot of things, but if you have something that is handled a lot would heat wrap. and twist for strength.

You should open all the wire hairs , intertwine them together and then twist them. After that , put silicone paste generously and then the srinking tube over it and heat it. You will have a perfect water seal connection. Your method is pretty good if it won't be expose to outside weather. Good job , though. PS. If you could solder them before , is even better.
Really helpful.

I would solder the connection and put shrink tubing over it. Everyone has a way that works for them and this is what works for me. My butane solder iron has a torch tip I use to shrink the tubing. The tubing will shrink down to half it's size. Use that as a guide so you don't select a size of tubing that is too large a diameter to shrink down to the size you want. .
