Solder seal wire connectors for automotive use - worth a try?

Cope said
The torch i use dose not have an open flame. In fact it will not function as an open flame like the cheeper ones.

It could just be my personal bias but when i see solder less connectors i just think, "well that is garbage.." it is at that point i know i better look over the electrical system REAL close. If the guy was willing to use butt connectors (i know thats not what we are tslking about) then i always find vampire clips, wires twisted and taped and other cheep or "easy" repairs.....



Thats my take on it.

We use electric heat guns on the subs since anything with a flame is a no no. The tip of the guns have a shroud that wraps around the back so the heat wraps around the wire and doesn’t impact any of the other wires.

Agree with Cope on solderless connectors, people usually crimp them with a pair of pliers instead of a crimper which usually results in broken strands.

I’ve always been old school in that I solder everything.
