Finally! A tutorial on wire splicing that explains things clearly and succinctly, without irritating background music and without taking so long it feels like watching grass grow. Good job!

This is what I learned when I was 12 or 13 yrs old. This process got me my first electrical job at 16 yrs old. Back in the 70's!

I learned the western union splice in grade 9 in 1975. Been using it ever since. Thanks for the reminder. I think the shop teacher may have called it a western bend, though it was a while ago, lol. Thumbs up!
I can't believe companies like Wirefy don't have a demonstration like this on their channel. Thank you for your video, sir!

Hello @Flashback502,
Thank you for your tutorial! It was clearly explained to two non-electrically oriented women. Your video helped my daughter and me reconnect the power cord to her internet router after her kitten chewed it up. The Western union twist worked!!!! 🎉
Perfect! No BS just straight information.

Thankyou for the video! My father recently taught me how to solder. I was looking for a video just like this because electrical tape can get quite messy, and need to know how to use heat shrink tubing.

Great video - thank you. Notice there were a few strands of wire that broke and fell onto the table - need to watch for that if working on a circuit board.

Also, use the heat shrink tubing WITH ADHESIVE. Not only will it be more waterproof, but it adds strength.

Excellent tutorial. Shows a solid way to avoid the brittle joins that soldering can give. Sure soldering will be stronger, but this is pretty solid anyway, and really - if wires are under enough stress that soldering is required to keep it together - after a splice like this - well you've got bigger problems lol
Thanks heaps, my man! It's given me confidence to have a go at cutting and re-joining cabling for a rather expensive headset (which the manufacturer won't just supply a replacement cable that I could solder on...bastards! lol). I've done other solder-less joins in the past that just weren't as solid - I can't wait to give this a try.

I would solder the connection and put shrink tubing over it. Everyone has a way that works for them and this is what works for me. My butane solder iron has a torch tip I use to shrink the tubing. The tubing will shrink down to half it's size. Use that as a guide so you don't select a size of tubing that is too large a diameter to shrink down to the size you want.

Great video
You should open all the wire hairs , intertwine them together and then twist them. After that , put silicone paste generously and then the srinking tube over it and heat it. You will have a perfect water seal connection. Your method is pretty good if it won't be expose to outside weather. Good job , though. PS. If you could solder them before , is even better.
Thank you!
Thank you for the lesson. Nice and clear video!

I like the Western Union splice. I wish I had seen this prior to using the crimp-on butt connectors, because I don't have a lot of faith in them with stranded wire (though I did tin the wires with solder as a precaution). This would have been easier as I am using shrink wrap on top of the butt connectors anyway. Plus, I didn't know if it would be safe to use a lighter, but the hair dryer I tried sure wasn't doing the trick! (I'll keep the lighter moving, of course.) Thanks, good video which gets directly to the point without a lot of chitchat.

That was a perfect demo. Thank you!
My dad always had me take the two bare ends, twist them each lightly, trim each to length for appropriate wire nut. Insert both ends exactly evenly and twist until ends catch the threading. Then, twist tight. Complete by wrapping in electrical tape.
Is the heat shrink a stronger bond physically for the cord? Is it a better connection to conduct electricity without heat build up? Is one way better than the other?
Tape can come lose overtime, but will work fine for a lot of things, but if you have something that is handled a lot would heat wrap. and twist for strength.
Thanks for a great tutorial 🙌

The use of heat shrink tubing is not limited to electrical connections. It can be used for bonding or covering all sorts of stuff. Anything you can stick in the tubing can be sealed.
Thanks, very good video, quite informative!

Thanks for this! I was looking to heat shrink wrap a T splice. Any advice?
Liked, subbed, and belled! Thanks flashback 502! I’m going to give you credit on my upcoming series of RUclips videos re: salvaging a Riccar “Supralite” model R10S.2 vacuum cleaner that I found in pieces by the dumpster this week. It did not even occur to me to put the heat shrink tubing on the wire first, before doing the “ Western Union” connection.
Thanks for sub and like, hope u get vacuum fixed glad could help👍

Thanks for the twist example. I have been doing it halfway right. I use an inexpensive heat gun I purchased online. I cringe when I see flame applied to heat shrink tubing.
