Can be used with 6/2 UF-B "Type "

So if you have a 6/2 grounded UF-B this will only work if you have a little "Cheat" willing are. . The 6th gear in its pure form absolutely does not fit into the clutch. I used size 6 with 7 strands so I cut one strand to fit. Yes, I know it's not a 6 gauge anymore, but I figured the brass case would make the difference. Note that the original Revain photo from 10/1/20 is a bit misleading as it doesn't make it clear that you get 4 couplers and a plastic holder for them (just to be clear this is

Pros

Cons
  • Crumpled

So far, so good! in Wiring and Connection

About two months ago I repaired the underground wire that feeds the yard lights. This cable caused problems as I had apparently cut through the insulation while planting bushes. I tried different splicing methods but none of them worked for long. I've actually repaired two cable splices with this product and so far so good. However, I did not bury the cable, but left it open. We've had a series of heavy rains, snowstorms and ice storms over the last two months and it's still working. I'll bury…

Pros
  • Inspires Confidence
Cons
  • Out of Style

Too big for 14/2 plus grounded UF wire

Written by my husband. As others have pointed out, after shrinking, the heat shrink becomes too large. Here are some of the features that should have been included in the product description. The diameter of the brass terminal block is approximately 23 mm (15/16"). The inner diameter of the pre-shrunk heat shrink tubing is approximately 34 mm (1 and 15/16"). The inside diameter after shrinking is approximately 9mm (3/8 inch). The 14/2 UF cable is rectangular and measures approximately 5/16" x…

Pros
  • High score for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
