He sounded just find. I'm just glad he took the time to make the video. I spent a lot of time looking at videos and ( Welking Vue ) is the only one showing the connector. Thank you. I'm the WallsBeeMan on you tube. I'm a beekeeper
This was exactly what I needed. I've never spiced two wires with one of these connectors before.
dave dont use these solder your wires
@@michael6692 why?
@@Fanatiekeling747 no reason he’s just trynna act like there’s only one way to do shit🤦🏼♂️
@@slashmytires 😂🤣
@@Fanatiekeling747 I would maybe add some electrical tape around just to seal off any opening or prevent it from in clipping or what not..
This was a super helpful video it just helped me install a new CDI coil combo in my scooter. Thanks for making this video man guys like you who do simple instructional videos are the true heroes of TH-cam.
Thanks Brother!
Excellent tutorial. I was on my way to purchase some connectors but had a package of these connectors and never used them because I did not know how. You made this very simple and saved me from running to the store to spend money not needed
Nice story thanks for sharing.
Thank you for a very good demonstration. Now I will confident joining two wires on my car.
Very helpful tutorial! I have new aftermarket taillights to install on my car this weekend that require splicing a couple wires to the factory wires. I’ve never used quick splicers before. Thanks for making this video!
Thank you so much for this demonstration. I given these connectors inside a kit and I had no idea how to use them. Very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I knew there had to be a simple way of using an existing wire to add an accessory without a lot of cutting and splicing. This is a great solution. A million thanks for making my life easier, now I just have to run over to the parts store and make sure they have these in the right size. 👍🏻
Thanks for the comment.
Thank you! Never used this type connector before! You made it easy!
That was a very helpful video. I need to rewire a boat trailer and wondered what the best way to wire the side lights. This video answered all my questions. Thank you.
Thanks for your time and it seems you are naturally comfortable on camera or put in a lot of practice, it Made using quick connections - fast easy and effective. Really good job
I actually put in a lot of practice.
I always wondered how these things worked. Very helpful video thank you! Worked like a charm.
This is great tutorial for beginners! You did an amazing job by keeping it simple. I needed this to wire my reverse camera to my reverse light.
Thank You!
Thanks, simple instructions....a entire week later! You're awesome brother.
What happened if you want to remove it?
Thank you for your very detailed explanation and demonstration of how to properly use these connectors.
Oh grow up people. I don't see y'all making an elaborate video like this. Keep up the good work Welking Vue
Thank You!
Thanks for the great info. I'll be using these connectors for the first time soon. And I enjoyed your accent and delivery too!
Perfect tutorial and exactly what I need for my setup! Now to buy them!
Can these connectors be used for domestic use for 220v electricy or only in cars for DC current ?
I have to admit first, that I'm grateful for the video, it really helped...but the way you were looking at the very beginning of the video made me laugh LOLOLOL...thanx again
Thank you! How safe and durable are these connectors? I am in the process of adding a rearview camera to my car and the camera needs to be connected to the positive and ground cables. Will these connectors work in your opinion? Thanks
I think how durable would be subjective. If you got extra wires and extra connectors the best way to find out is to test it out. Connect wires to this connector and try pulling on the wires it'll give you an idea of how durable it is. I done this test before, but with other type of connectors. Keep in mind if the wires are too skinny you probably won't get a good clamp and it'll fall apart easier.
These things will cut your wires. Not meant for wiring for vehicules purposes or a rear cam lol
Thank you for showing it twice and taking your time great video and translation
Thank You
Great! Thank you for explaining it so clearly, sir!
So this connects the red wire to the black wire ?
i was wondering if it’s ok to connect two wires onto the same wire? Like for example, 2 black wires onto my car’s red wire.
I don't know how your setup is just make sure you know what your doing and do it correctly. If the red wire is power and you do that you'll have power on both the black wires. Depending on what your doing you might need inline fuse holder.
Can I use a 16 gauge wire on the 18-14 connector
Great job explaining this. Thank you for your help. You should continue doing what you do. Very informative.
Thank You!
I came here for technical advice, I left feeling as if I had touched the face of God.
Thanks for the video! i heard there were these connectors that wouldn't require stripping/cutting wires/soldering, especially for a car where soldering can make connections kind of brittle. But I couldn't really figure out how they would work from the amazon picture. Good explanation, gonna do this in my car
I used these for my headlight build. really easy to use
Can i use this to connect power wire to my ceiling fan wire instead traditional connector. ?
I never heard of or know of anyone using these on ceiling fan.
Exact connector I was looking for, thanks brotha
Does it affects the warranty of vehicle
thanks.
but what if I have one fat cable and another skinny cable i need to splice together?
can it work? i have the red size scotchlock:/
Omg that is so easy. Thank you so much for this video.
Yeah easy lol.
Who else installing halos?
OG R3CKLESS lmfao me did these work good ?
I am also.
🙋🏽♂️
me on my e46 this worked like magic i know its simple but who cares
E46 halos
So is each side of those connectors a positive and negative?
Would these be good to use on my truck? I want to splice Into my reverse light wire to add a pair of reverse lights to my bumper
If I am splicing my car's brake light, should I disconnect the car battery when doing it?
Can you take the connector off after you've spliced two wires together? By that i mean if you want to disconnect the other wire from let's say your car.
I'm not sure what you mean. The connector is just there to connect two wires together. Whatever else that needs to be modified would depend on what your project is.
@@WelkingVue once you push the metal part in on the splicer can you pull it back out? Without ruining the wires
I don't think this connector was meant for connecting and removing. If you want to do that there are some connectors made for easier connecting and removing. If you remove this connector from the wire you would have already cut the insulation on the wire. The wire could be partially cut when it was spliced.
This helped a lot in wiring my sidemarkers. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Can you use scotchlock to tap house wires 220v or is it only for vehicles ?
Great video bro, exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the demo, but what about the exposed end of the wire your connecting to?
In reality the wire I'm connecting to would not be exposed. If you were to use this connector to connect a wire to a car, the wire on the car wouldn't be exposed at either end.
Thank you for showing us how to use a quick splice.
That is good to know. Thanks!
Thank you brother. Much appreciated. Great video and very informational.
Thank u!!!! My scary ass was worried about this lol
What if the guage is a bit different one from the other
What happens if the wire isn’t pushed all the way in? Will it not work or is it just for safety
Hard to say without being there to see it. What matter is two thing. One, you need a connection and two, it does not fall apart.
Thank you, very much. I just wired a utility trailer using those T-tap connectors but the lights don't come on. Now I know why. I did not use pliers to pierce the wires. I just forced the plastic flap closed thinking that that would be enough force to pierce the wires. But they didn't.
Thanks for sharing!
I wish I would have seen this yesterday before I ordered t connectors
Are we not supposed to strip the end of the wire we're inserting onto the side wheres theres no exit or it doesnt matter if we strip the end or not?
If you crimp it and the little blade cut into both wires and you got a connection, then stripping isn't really needed.
@@WelkingVue thank you ! I wasnt to sure cuz it was my first time using those and wasnt sure if it mattered or not lol
Excellent Video Thank You!
thanks Vue I have never used this kinda connector im giving it a try thank you again.
Thanks for watching hopefully it works out for you.
What if you need to remove it? Just use the pliers to pull off the plastic part?
Whatever way works with minimum damage to the wire. I don't think this connector was meant for removing it's more of a permanent connection. If you plan on removing it, there's other connectors with easy connect and disconnect.
Were you able to remove it?
@@ryatt1 ya it was pretty ez, just pull the tab back with a pair of pliers
@@kevinhhn alright. Cus the splice didnt work for the lights i tried setting up in my car. Might need to cut open the insulation a bit more before putting another splice on
Really helpful in a tight spot thanks!
Does this work if wire is stripped?
Thanks for the. vid. brother. , had never used these clips . Great detail . God Bless
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for this video
Nice video, brother.
Who knew how to use this but watched the video just in case?
is there a quick splice connector that can extend more than just 1 connection?
You could look into Crimp Cap Connector. I have a video on that.
Hello, is this good for making parallel circuit?
Not sure I never heard of parallel circuit don't know what that is.
Thank you for the video! Now I need these.
Thanks for the video you helped me out with this.
Thank You!
Thank you, I have never done it this way, im gonna try them.
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful!
Great tutorial 👍😉😎
Thanks a million buddy great demo
Isn't that for DC only??
So you're in your car, wanting to quick splice a wire. How do you know what gauge it is to choose the right quick splice connector?
With quick splice connector as long as there's a connection between the wires and the connector, then you should be good to go. It depend which wire on the car you want to splice. If it's a speaker wire I would use 18-22 gauge because speaker wires are usually small wire, hopefully you get the idea. You could also look at the size of the wire and compare it to the part of the connector that will cut into the wire. Know the basic, if the connector is too big for the wire, then the connector might not be able to splice into the wire, but if the connector is too small for the wire, then the wire might not fit into the connector OR too much of the wire might get cut when spliced together and could result in loosing sound connection.
Don't do it
Most cars use 16-18 gauge wire on stock wiring.
company I worked for If anyone got caught using Scotchlok, they would be fired on the spot.. they have a tendency to slice wires which creates an open circuit,, we either use crimp connectors or we spliced and soldered them together.. also using connectors in newer cars might trigger the anti-theft system and you will never start your car..

And if you're outside the cabin and do it, the corrosion can go a long way up the wire. I've had to go a foot to get past the green. Working on trash trucks I use crimp connectors I fill with silicone dielectric grease. I don't have the time and a lot of the time, the room to solder
Thank you! This was very helpful!!!
Great video, straight to the point
Very helpful, thanks a lot brother!!
Thanks for the vid, bro
great demo, but you really should use some dielectric grease to help prevent corrosion
Very helpful
wow very helpful Thanks for making this video.
Thanks!
What do you use for the extra small wires?
Soldering might be a good idea.
Extra small connectors...
jennifer roberson Thanks, I just used T-taps. More room for trial and error
VERY HELPFUL 👍
Very thorough. Thank you
Good video Bro 😎 👌🏾 Helped Alot
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you sir
Very helpful, thanks!
That help me out to install my new headlights
Helpful!
