This method is IDEAL when you only have a few connections to make, and don't feel like plugging in a soldering iron(waiting for it to heat up), don't have an electrical receptacle close by to plug the soldering iron into, just discovered your soldering iron's heating element is broken, have poor soldering skills that result in "cold soldered" connections, don't have a high enough wattage soldering iron, or would like to keep the soldering fumes to a minimum. I've been dealing with stupidity from Brits for at least 8-10 years regarding the word "Solder", so viewers that post comments criticizing how Americans pronounce words(disrespecting other countries dialects), will be automatically deleted. Thanks for watching!
I have been using this method of splicing wires for decades. For extra protection on wires used outside like on vehicles and trailers I usually generously coat the splice with dielectric grease before shrinking the tube. I feel it makes the seal more corrosion resistant.
Hey G I have a backup camera I installed and had to make splices and add extra wire to reach the back of my pickup truck. The wires from the camera are so thin it was hard to remove the plastic insulation without cutting the wires. I only used electrical tape for connecting because of the thinness of the wire. I'm wondering if there is another method for connection. The camera works for the most part but occasionally I lose the connection and that's why I'm asking. Thanks in advance.

always struggled with the soldering iron holding it and holding the solder and in most cases trying to hold the wire as well. This seemed so easy. I almost can't wait for my next soldering project. Perfect thankyou
I learned how to solder, using two fingers for the solder, another two for holding the wire by watching an elderly mexican lady at one of my old jobs. She would use her thumb anf fore finger for the solder, her "flip-off" finger and ring finger for holding the wire. It took lots of practice but I found it to be pretty effective. She made fantastic green chili zlso!
Your method of soldering is particularly useful when you need to make cross-wire connections especially in hard to reach places. I found it useful in my motorcycle where I couldn't take my power extension and soldering iron. I use the iron method in my home lab where I need to work on PCBs with space and movement constraints. All-in-all, a very good method but one needs to be very careful going live. Use of heat-resistant gloves, good safety goggles and adequate lighting condition are recommended for novice users.
Well, what a surprise! When you started wrapping solder wire around the joint, I just thought, oh, another RUclips gimmick. But far from it. I have soldered many wires together over the years and it has always been an absolute pain as one juggles with the wires and the solder. I will make a test joint later, just to try it out. Thanks! Truly useful.
I recently saw a new item/technique I believe here on YT. It's heat shrink tubing lined with an adhesive and two rings of solder, as you heat the shrink wrap the solder flows and the adhesive seals the connection making it waterproof. This seems pretty cool but I don't think I'll be getting rid of my trusty Weller iron anytime soon!
I'm an electrical engineer/technician. Been doing this for 35 years . I have come up with my own ways to do this but by far this one tops them all and its going in my toolbox. Thanks for showing your method!
Works even better with one of those pocket touch cigarette lighters you get at the gas station. This has been my preferred method for years. Solder is conductive, adhesive, and seals the copper connection from oxidation.

Brilliant. I have done something similar in the past but that technique is a vast improvement. By the way, when the shrink tubing is used, hot water from a recently boiled Kettle makes a neater, cleaner shrink.
I'd be cautious of not letting water become trapped in the shrink tubing against the wire where it can and will wick into the wire causing hard to find problems in the future.

Some people just embarrass the hell out of you!! Been doing Electrical, Automotive and Electronics for over 50 years now and I've never even thought about this... I've soldered wires with candles and wrapped the solder around and around the wire then tapped it just a tiny bit to knock the excess off before but the wrapping GENIUS!!! What I would not give to have known about this eons ago! This would work great even WITH a solder Iron especially in those HARD TO REACH spots!
good vid. also it's a good idea to do a second layer of heat shrink with some sort of stiffer "splint" material so that the flexing occurs only in the unspliced area, because the repaired solder area is relatively stiff and will create a hing point/stress riser. The splint material could be a split layer of insulation or a trimmed zip tie material etc , anything to gradually transfer flexing away from the ends of the soldered area.
How many connections are you going to be making in your car project? While this may be an expedient if you're caught in a specific situation where you need to make an emergency repair without a soldering iron, it's not really the best plan to go about doing a whole slew of connections.
That was a very "neat" trick when one has no electricity or want a quick method. But if i have electricity I will go to solder if I have to and usually i am too lazy to do that so I just tie it and hope for the best. lol Now to project farm.... lol
NICE Job, looks like a Factory joint!!! Those three rolls at each end, just slid sideways into the middle hot zone!! Beauty!!! My New Preferred Method!!!
The video should be called painless wire soldering. Much easier than using a soldering iron. I definitely will be using this method when extending the wiring harness in my project truck.
Yes. Many people have trouble getting a nice smooth flowed connection if a soldering iron is too low in wattage, or when the tip isn't properly tinned. This is easier.

Perfect with one minor caveat. Put the heat shrink tubing on the wire 'before' you solder (unless you have one open end where you can slide it on afterwards like you did. How many times did I forget to do that first? Too many so I had to comment. Thanks for the video.
i had to place my soldering station at 300degree celcius everytime i did some solder jobs. Thought that anything below would not make it melt like butter.

brilliant video. very good solder. Here's another tip: if you don't have shrink tubing or more likely forgot to put it on before soldering, You can use the lighter to melt the cap of a 1-2 liter bottle of soda so its very liquidity and then smear cover the solder joint
IF YOU ARE JOINING TWO WIRES THAT ARE ALREADY ATTACHED AT THE OTHER END, DON’T FORGET THE HEAT SHRINK TUBING ON ONE OF THE WIRES, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE NO WAY OF PUTTING IT OVER THE JOIN!
Be sure to push the heat-shrink far enough away from the joint that it will not prematurely shrink as you heat the joint. Then (same reason) let the joint cool to a finger-safe temperature before positioning the heat-shrink over the joint for shrinking.
Ha, I like this. I am not handy at all, but I am about to splice some wires from the old vacuum to the new motor wires. The vacuum is from ancient times I think, so it will run again! Thank you for this video, you are appreciated!
I guess it is kind of obvious, but for most applications you need to slide on the heat shrink tube as the step BEFORE you do the splice. ( You had the benefit of the loose ends in the demonstration)
Glad someone else is willing to say what we all know, but few will admit... "Make sure that you aren't using lead free solder... lead free solder just doesn't flow as well." Words to live by.
OMG. Unbelievable! I have tried to solder stuff with a soldering iron & it comes out like shit. I just don't know how to do it right. THIS neat method will definitely be my go-to method in the very near future. Wish I knew this last weekend. Wow, just ... WOW! Thank you!
"it comes out like shit. I just don't know how to do it right." The flux is the "secret" ingredient. It helps make clean soldered connections. For wires, like in this video, liquid rosin flux is ideal. For PCBs, there are 'no clean' and soluble liquid flux that you can wash with warm water.
It is good to have alternative methods available. In this case not having a soldering irons leaves you a couple of choices - either this way or crimp connectors. Thanks for this. i would consider using the basics of this even with a soldering iron.
Great tip, great technique! Thanks for showing us how to eliminate having a soldering iron in our tool kits, and being sure a wall socket is nearby when we have a simple job to do. However, if you have a compact Butane soldering tool available, it also works easily with this method.

I'll definitely be doing this when I re-wire my old truck. A good alternative to buying those solder filled splice things. Not that I have anything wrong with those I just prefer the look of a heat shrunk joint over the butt connectors
Probably a good idea to slide the heat shrink tubing over one of the wires before you twist them together, since in real life the opposite ends of the wire are usually connected to something.

Excellent idea to wrap the solder wire around the connection.
Thanks for watching!
Worthwhile video.
I love soldering. It makes me sad to see “solderless kit” on something. That’s most of the fun!

Ha! My soldering always goes wrong! I guess that video waa made for incompetent idiots like me who just won't get it!
@@fghelmke same idiot here lol! Had no luck with a solder iron but this worked perfectly!
IF YOU ARE JOINING TWO WIRES THAT ARE ALREADY ATTACHED AT THE OTHER END,
DON’T FORGET THE HEAT SHRINK TUBING ON ONE OF THE WIRES, OTHERWISE YOU
WILL HAVE NO WAY OF PUTTING IT OVER THE JOIN!
You could just cut it again and do this method again with 2 heat shrink sleeves. OOPS! I forgot again!
Please stop yelling at us.
Be sure to push the heat-shrink far enough away from the joint that it will not prematurely shrink as you heat the joint. Then (same reason) let the joint cool to a finger-safe temperature before positioning the heat-shrink over the joint for shrinking.
Ha, I like this. I am not handy at all, but I am about to splice some wires from the old vacuum to the new motor wires. The vacuum is from ancient times I think, so it will run again! Thank you for this video, you are appreciated!
Wow... that's magic! Thanks for that...
I guess it is kind of obvious, but for most applications you need to slide on the heat shrink tube as the step BEFORE you do the splice. ( You had the benefit of the loose ends in the demonstration)
Yes, I explained that to viewers.
Looks like it flowed really nice. I use uninsulated aluminum butt crimps then solder the whole works. Never have an issue. 👍
Whatever works. :-). Thanks for watching!
Glad someone else is willing to say what we all know, but few will admit... "Make sure that you aren't using lead free solder... lead free solder just doesn't flow as well."
Words to live by.
There's nothing like good ole 60/40. :-)
Mind blown! I'll have to try this !
OMG. Unbelievable! I have tried to solder stuff with a soldering iron & it comes out like shit. I just don't know how to do it right. THIS neat method will definitely be my go-to method in the very near future. Wish I knew this last weekend. Wow, just ... WOW! Thank you!
Make sure the wire is clean, practice makes perfect. Thanks for watching! Be sure to share the video link with others.
"it comes out like shit. I just don't know how to do it right."
The flux is the "secret" ingredient. It helps make clean soldered connections. For wires, like in this video, liquid rosin flux is ideal. For PCBs, there are 'no clean' and soluble liquid flux that you can wash with warm water.
It is good to have alternative methods available. In this case not having a soldering irons leaves you a couple of choices - either this way or crimp connectors. Thanks for this. i would consider using the basics of this even with a soldering iron.
Great tip, great technique! Thanks for showing us how to eliminate having a soldering iron in our tool kits, and being sure a wall socket is nearby when we have a simple job to do. However, if you have a compact Butane soldering tool available, it also works easily with this method.
Glad you liked the video! Be sure to share. Thank you

That was cool, I managed to actually guess that's exactly what you were going to do after seeing the wires wrapped together, not sure why I didn't think of it before, it's brilliant! -:)

As you did your close up of the wire after soldering, I started to blow on it haha. Just a habit of mine after I take the heat away of the piece.
I do it all the time. LOL
that, and the tactical exhale to keep the flux fumes away from your face. :D
Cuda FX Yup. I don’t have ventilation, so I blow every time lol. I see I am not alone
Very nice idea to joint wires👌👍
I'll definitely be doing this when I re-wire my old truck. A good alternative to buying those solder filled splice things. Not that I have anything wrong with those I just prefer the look of a heat shrunk joint over the butt connectors
Thanks for watching! Be sure to share the video link with friends.
Probably a good idea to slide the heat shrink tubing over one of the wires before you twist them together, since in real life the opposite ends of the wire are usually connected to something.
That was great Thanks for showing it.
Glad you enjoyed it John! Be sure to check out my other videos as well. Thanks
This earned my subscription Thank You.
Nice way to solder without iron
I can't even count how many times I've done this out in the field over the years
You're in the minority. :-)
This tip is amazing! Very useful. 😁
