Talk:Cable crimping

Might be worth mentioning that both crimped and soldered joints are liable to compromise insulation, especially in inexperienced hands. Insulating each crimped wire before bundling and taping the lot is thus more reliable. Minor point. NT 16:50, 16 May 2007 (BST)

Good article. Might be worth adding a bit about the length of the exposed conductors, since many crimps don't incorporate a stop at the half way point. There is a risk then that the wire of the second crimp is not inserted fully. Cheers, John.

Is a hairdryer with hand over the air intake hot enough to shrink it?
