Review on 60PCS Heat Shrink Butt Wire Connector Kit - Insulated Waterproof Electrical Marine Automotive Crimp Terminals Splice by Jim Shirodkar

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not shrink down small enough for 22-20 Gauge wire

Rather disappointing in these, I buy Ancor as I'm a Marine Electrician, and decided to take a chance on these. They are not up to spec, they do not shrink down small enough to close on 22-20 gauge wires. I have a multiple heat guns, tried them all, rotated the wires, distributed my heat correctly across the connector. No dice.They would not close down enough so I had to pinch them with pliers while they were still hot to get them to seal. Now I have 200 of them.

Pros
  • priced
Cons
  • May not be as reliable as traditional terminals in extreme weather conditions
