NO ICE....After the repair man had been out twice and not fixed my ice maker I decided to figure it out myself. No Mr. repair man I didn't put the filter in wrong, it was a design defect that the wires broke from opening and closing the door. Your video gives me the confidence to take care of my home and small repair jobs, while saving money.

just one thing to add regarding heat shrink tubing. There are 2 types, adhesive and non-adhesive. The non-adhesive ones are not suitable for high moisture environments. Moisture will actually wick inside the tubing and corrode the wires quite fast. The adhesive type on the other hand is extremely good for preventing corrosion. They also tend to be double walled and have a 3:1 shrink ratio.

Great video! I've never replaced any kind of electrical wiring before, but I just replaced a defrost thermostat in my 20-year-old refrigerator. Thanks to this excellent video, I was able to connect the new thermostat's wires to the refrigerator's wires using a red butt connector and electrical tape. The main takeaways that I learned are: - what a correct crimp looks like (I practiced on the old part several times before I tried it for real) - be sure not to strip some of the copper wires (thanks for showing that -- I never would've thought to look) - pull on each end to ensure that the wires are secured in the connector I credit this video for helping a first-timer successfully repair her fridge. Thank you!

I love this video. You tell us how to do something without fussing about, including mistakes to avoid, and the visuals are nice and crisp. Beautiful work!

It is rare to watch video so short yet so clear and insightful. Congrats!

Great video. I was taught to melt a little solder onto the soldering iron tip before placing it under the twisted wires. The little molten solder lump greatly increases the conduction of heat from the tip to the joint. With the tip contacting the underside of the joint, the rising heat will rapidly heat the whole joint. Then, add your rosin-core solder to the top. It will melt right into the hot joint almost immediately.

Glad to see none of those nylon, closed-end crimp connectors featured here. Two wires carrying a high current, joined with those, seems to be what caused the huge recall of those air fryers recently.

I loved the style and presentation of this video. It has the feel of an electrical engineer student making a PowerPoint in an early class. It’s simple and explained well. Plus that last connector blew my mind! So cool!!!!!

I love this! As a mechanic, it's easy to get stuck in my ways. I was taught this way, this is how I do it. But I forget that maybe there are better ways of doing things. This video proves it.

Excellent video. Thanks very much.

Don't forget the lineman's splice. Fewer tools needed, but you need to sacrifice more wire as they are tied together. A very strong connection.

Thanks man! If I could give you two thumbs up I would. I'd never heard of the solder seal wire connections. I have a short in my car's rear camera wiring in the trunk. I was about to start digging up my solder gun dreading the process while sitting in the trunk my car since I can't remove the wiring harness. While refreshing myself on what little solder experience I had I watched your video. To Amazon I went since the local auto stores did not have them.

This is one of the best how to videos I have seen. The only problem is he takes a job that I struggle with and usually make a mess of and makes it look so easy. I wish these things were that easy.

excellent point.great video but as you say,it might not be as easy as it looks and it surely does look easy!

In the process of fixing some wires on my HVAC I came across one of those PSST Connectors, and I have never seen one before so I cut it off and took it to city electric supply and none of the guys at the counter knew what it was it’s so funny the next day I watch your video and get the name of it! Way to help push the community forward with your experience through quality education. Thanks a lot

From automotive mechanics and fixing cars to construction work of all kinds most of it is simple enough for anyone to do. Especially today with the very extensive easy access to information and exact video walk-throughs of what every project your learning. Just stop and think about the task at hand prior to starting it. If your not sure its safe to do then always defer to safety.

I’m not even a mechanic or electrical engineer, but watching this video makes me want to splice wires together for the fun of it..🤩

Ok so, super gratitude. Feeling clever, might delete later. Headlight socket replacement, in place (tight space) on a 98 Infitniti QX4. After several moments of frustration, this video came through in the clutch. I kept wasting connectors with failed crimps. After watching, I slid a parallel connector onto the car's wire, weaved the wires together ala the solder section, then slid the connector over the wires and crimped with a needle nose pliers adjacent to the wire cutter area which mimics a crimp pretty decent. Electrical tape over the 3 individual wires, then back into the sheath and electrical tape over that. I am please with myself and yall are probably the only people that care LOL. Thank you for reading. I no longer have to pop the hood and jiggle the wire to make my headlight work. PEACE!

Well done. The one thing I'd add is that when working with heavier gauge wires and/or an iron with limited heat output smearing on the rosin can be a big help to help keep things flowing.

Really quite a good information presentation. A nice example was showing the wire clothing burn-through with the lighter. What an easy way to get shard-to-find short. Well done.

I love how you show what happens when you do the “not to do’s”. Love this video please keep it up!

Excellent video of the various methods. Glad I watched it before starting to fix an outdoor extension cord. I realized I did not have the correct connectors. Thanks for great information.

Retired electrical engineer here. Been screwing up crimp joints for about 60 years now. Using pliers type tools to do the crimps was pretty much hit or miss. A couple of years ago I got a $25 ratchetting crimp tool from Amazon. Success rate is much better now but ... I even screw that up sometimes. I highly recommend a ratchetting crimp tool if you're going to be doing more than 10-20 connectors.

Hit the mark on direct, informative and properly sequenced.

I found your video very informative and you explained every technique very well , the do's and don'ts as well as the safety hazards. great video!

He explained it good on the colored cables and bare wire. Plus the things you insert the wire in and crimp it.

Thanks! I wanted to extend the clip leads on my car battery charger, so used the inter-weave method to splice on the new lengths. It worked, but the main problem was my soldering irons are so old that it must have taken 4 - 5 minutes to start heating the wire & melt the solder. Trying to hold the tip steady against the joint that long meant it pushed it a few times and some of the strands started to splay out, leaving UGLY joints! I reckon I need a new/faster iron! The other thing I realised is that I'd trimmed both sets of wires to the same length, meaning the joints were adjacent with a risk of touching if the heat-shrink wore through. The joints are fine but I may redo them sometime and offset them a bit.

Thank you for the completeness in addressing this answer
