Review on Uxcell Heat Shrink Tube Electrical Industrial Electrical for Wiring & Connecting by Jason Epstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for securing the ends of shoelaces (aglets)

My son had a pair of Nikes with the laces being too long (about 8-10 inches for some reason). This tube was great for making new shoelace/aglet tips. We cut a 1/2 inch piece of tubing, slipped it over the existing end of the lace and lowered it into the desired location. We used the flame of a kitchen lighter very close to the tube to push it onto the cord. Then we cut off the extra tip and burn the new tip a little. Looks the same as the original factory lanyard.

Pros
  • Wide range of applications: electrical insulation, wire protection, cable connection, data cable decoration, color coding, wire identification, wire binding and more.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
