- Have you ever had your power cables or power poles break during a portable activity? Perhaps when you have no other tools available than your EDC knife? This little dingus can save your day?

Nice job. When I saw those, I figured that's how it was done. I was lazy and picked up a few at Hamvention. They'll come in handy.
These will definitively come in handy at some point. I am not blaming people selling these, I just can't pay what they cost when I have to pay shipping and taxes.
Thanks, Morten. So interesting I bought a small pack of Wago inline splicers to have in just such a situation. Brilliant idea!
Best,

Thanks, but it’s not my idea though.
I saw the KM4ACK video and built one myself, similar to yours. It was easy to strip the wire before assembling the Power Pole, and I solder tinned the wires going into the Wago just because. I have also painted the Wagos red and black. All overseas ordering in mow really difficult in the UK.
Very happy that you were able to build one. Always be prepared! KE5EZZ 73+
@AP-QuickCons Thanks for the great idea!
I built a couple of dozen of those last week. Nice to have in you EDC for the shack. 73
I have put three of these in my portable kit. Always nice to have.
Thankyou Morten, a great idea for a back up. Yes, like you postage would increase the cost quite substantially. 73
I have 3 of these great for ham fest testing and in my go bag
Oh definitively!
This is a smart idea. Building some for my field repair kit. Thanks!!
This is awesome! I love projects like this (especially since I have all that stuff laying around!) Im definitely going to build and stash a couple in my kit.
Seen that video too Morten. I too will build a couple. No brainer for your field kit.
It is so simple that I wish it was my idea.
Always be prepared! KE5EZZ 73!
Great piece of kit Morten! Simple and good video! 👍👍👍
Just got my inlines bought to do the same thing!!
It’s so simple it should be illegal!
Alway handy to have. Great video. 👍🏽73
Do you recall the size of that heat shrink?
I actually don't know, it was the last pieces in a box I bought somewhere years ago, but it was big enough for me to think it actually wouldn't shrink enough.
Good stuff. But that's not a dingus, it's a whatchamacallit! For maximum brainfuck, there's also a "links" version where you twist the cables 180° inside the shrink-wrap 🤣
Here I am thinking I created a doohickey! Carry on! KE5EZZ 73+
This is a great idea! DE W1KLI
