Review on Inch-Wear Resistant Waterproof Shrinkable Packing by Michael Zambrano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow! It is great!

Works surprisingly well. I bought it to cover the worm gear clamps I have on the ends of my stock hoses. Previously, the clamp would stick to objects when winding the hose. It now glides directly over grass and around objects without getting caught. Also, it doesn't stick to my fingers that previously cut into my skin. The adhesive properties only become apparent when heated. Once heated, this material will solidify around what you are covering and you can see a small amount of glue ooze out at the end. I'm pretty sure it will be a watertight seal, but I can't personally confirm that. I liked it so much that I bought a second order of this heat shrink tubing because I had completely used up my first order. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Easy to use and quick - just heat the heat gun evenly until it wraps tightly around the wire or connector. This is a 3:1 shrink ratio and shrinks to the original 1/3. (The temperature of your hair dryer is up to 60°C, then the glue inside will soften and seal the connection.)
Cons
  • Requires socket
