- Hello viewers, This video shows how to use SCOTCHLOCK AKA SPLICE CONNECTOR AKA PLIER TAP connector in automobile while fitting any extra lights or horns. This is from KENNEDY Tools (UK). This can be used just in case if any stock wire is broken. Also can be used for stock replacement joints which generally gets damaged due to deposition.

Clear, and straight to the point. Without any lame background music. Thank you for making this great video! 💯
Thanks David.
Perfect demo of quick splicers, I feel confident now splicing my antenna into my audio ISO block now. Thanks
You are welcome steve...where you from?
Thank you for posting. The best video demonstration of the wire tap connector I can find:)
I also want to tell you that this was an excellent video and showed me exactly what was up with this Splicer. Until I saw this, I did not know how it worked. Thank you so much.
Even as an Indian I love this guys accent. I just realized no one would remember me with my California accent. if I posted this video. When I need help I'll be looking this guy up! Hard to forget. Also best close up I've seen! Short and straight to the point video!
Awsome info.
Its a very important piece of info to ensure the warranty of cars etc is not void.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you.
Thank you. I really hate the idea of splicing into the wiring of my classic car but I feel much better after viewing your clear instructions.
Thank you so much for the quick and easy tutorial! 1st time splicing a wires together, and didn't know what these pliers taps were till now. Now I was able to install new headlights to car
Glad I could help!
SIMPLE, DIRECT, CLEAR, WELL EXPLAINED...! THANK YOU SIR...!
You are welcome
Excellent video very clear description, I searched many videos none of them were to the point,thank you
Thank you for a straight forward, easy to follow video.
Thanks! Still helpful 8 yrs later. 😀
Great video - easy to follow and clear instructions. Thank you
Thank you
If you're doing this to illuminate running lights on a trailer or a boat trailer, cover everything up with several coats of liquid electrical tape to make things waterproof & weatherproof. They make "waterproof" versions of these things, but there's no slot in the side to insert the longer wire that's the main (brown) wire.
Thanks for the great video 🇦🇺👍🏻
Very good short explanation. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this clear and simple video
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, to the point and everything i needed to know
thanks for appreciation.
Nice demo.
Thank you. This was very informative.
thanks
straight to point thank you
Excellent video!!!!!!!
thanks.
Thank you! Very useful
Thanks for the clear instructions! If I was to do this in my car to connect a rear view camera to the reverse loom wire, would I have to disconnect the battery or could I just do this while the car is switched off
Nice explaining!
Thanks, very helpful.
I have already killed about 10 :) I did not know how to use I was closing it and clamp thanks you very much
Thank you for the video!
Very good video, thanks for the info I had never used one of these before!
Don't
Nice job🙏
Thank you very much.
Great video ! Wished I watched it before I mess up my wiring !
Johnny 5 is ALIVE
Very good post

Thank you very much
That’s clutch, no idea these things existed
Got dem Honda Pliers 😂
Thank u for the video
you are welcome
Very informative Tank u
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you sir
Welcome Luke
Keep watching...
I'm trying to interconnect a solar PV system into a home's power meter. Can I use this type of connection to tap line 1 and line 2 of a solar PV system into line 1 and line 2 of a 120/240 residential electric system?
So i will be using these to install "led sequential light strips" on my MK6 golf. Just to clarify as im not 100% sure on what to do, does the power cable in the car (connected to the light) go straight through then the wire from the strip itself go in the end where its blocked off? Thankyou
yes
Very useful, many thanks!
thanks!
Thank you
You're welcome
I have a question. Can you push in the first wire through the side opening? Or do you have to only use the front and back opening?
It's purpose is to slide in the original wire from the side since that wire is always connected on both ends. This way you don't have to cut it to splice in. You just slide in the original from the side, insert your new wire you need to parallel the signal to, and press it in.
When I installed my remote start 2-way paging alarm I used those in two places and I knew better then to use them and I was told not to use them and I used them anyways because it was a tight area and that was the only two places that ever had a problem until I went back and did it right
You obviously did it wrong then. They are reliable
***** well hell yeah I was doing it wrong, that's what I said "I used those in two places"
They are an absolute nightmare for the mechanic who has to fix the problem later. I can't count the hundreds I have replaced over the years
Cbmech why did you replace them instead of wiring it properly? they are not a nightmare if not installed by an imbecile, they work perfectly in the right applications. mine never failed.. been years? proof right there. they are especially good in hard to reach areas which dont come in to contact with contaminants such as water etc

I did replace them with butt connecters filled with silicone di-electric grease .on a trash truck there is no such thing as a good place to use them . anybody that would use them on a trash truck isn't much of a mechanic . High vibration , pushing the amps to the high end of the wire size capacity and a scotch lock is a recipe for disaster . they were invented for u haul to f up your tail light wiring . To my mind they are the last refuge of the lazy wanna be mechanic
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?
judgement basis...
You don’t. You don’t do this. Look up a mil splice connection. It is much more reliable. Using connectors like this are not advised and not used by professionals for good reasons
If we remove wires from switch wht abt the wires is it cutted or not...
Thankyou please.
Hi can we use this splice connector for our home wiring . I see this is a use full piece , but doubtful . your advice please
Yes i have used it. From few years
This would not be advised for home electrical wiring and would not be safe for that application. What are you trying to do? I will try to point you in the right direction
Thank you please.
I need to connect three wires between a battery and motor on an electric scooter. The battery is; 36v, 5200mah, 187 watt-hours and the motor is 300w min to 700w max. A person told me that the connectors would need to withstand 30a. I'm not sure if that is correct, but will the red scotch lock withstand 30a ??
30AMPs i doubt. it may burn. you need lugs for that which can be crimped properly.
You can use this for solid wire to right. Im not using stranded wire
never used solid wires, mostly using multi strand wires
is that johnny no 5 in background?
Is this also useable for Air conditioner connector...or only for small devices
should work. in AC never tried though. but i am using for one of the domestic line as well...from many years and its still working.
I am just curious if i can use it for use wiring
using it from day one when i found it...never had any issues till now.
Would you like a squishy?
Does this means that i can connect extra led lights ( such as led sill plates) without making cuts to the original wiring, which voids the warranty ?
yes
mechautoclinic can you please make another video which shows how the wire looks after removing the scotch lock ?
mechautoclinic please reply
yes
mechautoclinic when can i expect this ?
Hello, it is only for automotive use?
Not necessarily. However very common in automotive industry.
Sir just 1 thing where to find and buy such connectors
sparesondemand@gmail.com I buy from them. Check with them. Thanks.
What gauge wire is the RED clips rated for?
you get different...it will be written on the carton/box/packing
Hey, Please can you let me know where can I buy these in Bulk?
Highresistance.com
Maybe try a thing called the internet
You should demonstrate how to put out a car fire too.
How does the plastic thing makes the wires get power thru them tho ?!?’
In the centre it has metal plate or chip which has got two slots as in Guillotine which cuts or slits the insulation and touches the strand. The main upper plastic body is insulation.thanks.
Thanks you so much !!!!!!
Esta bien, pero debes indicar que se debe usar guantes, el cable está vivo, harás tierra y terminaras en el hospital
ENGLISH PLEASE THANKS.
How to open
does this voids warranty??
warranty depends on company. but should not...thanks.
in order for it to work I thought you would need both - + wires connected as this only links the + and not -
Well now you know how to do ONE correctly!
Why would you want to?
how can I get this stuff
Online available
What you do with these is crimp them onto the wire then cut it off and throw it away. They just create problems
amazing..I never had any issues. what problem you faced?
corrosion,corrosion and corrosion. They might just pass for speaker wire connection. But outside of a vehicle they only last a year or two. Better off solder with dual core heatshrink.
gotcha...yeah I found that deposition but then i changed the brand. the coating gets off...what you are saying is correct..heat shrink I use sometimes on the splice.
Good visuals, but I found your moderator very hard to understand.
I coul've wired 5 plugs in the time it took to watch this demonstration!
oh thanks for watching and stay connected, I am happy to see your confidence bro...i didn't know by and while showing demo ppl will get so much of confidence level..perfect grasping power you have...
Watch it a few more times and maybe you can do 6!
It's a bad way of doing it,your better off soldering,I'm always having to fuck about with the scotch blocks In the back of my van
Needed to have "SUBTITLES".. honestly had to strain to understand accent...
Zen Modeling that's because you're an idiot. He spoke perfectly fine English. Great video if you ask me
Go back to building your corny ass little toy cars
You still got eyes lol.
Still the worst thing to ever be inflicted on automotive electrical systems
nice vid ,i just cant understand you
Jeff it's in English
@@BmwMe-uh9sy mute it. He does a great demo.
These things should be banned! Every installer uses them and for the first year they're fine. Then all of the intermittent problems start. Every repair I have done has come down to one of these shitty connections. Cut the wire, solder it and heat shrink it if you want it to last.
When inspecting a car, if you find these you know a hack mechanic was in there at sometime.
How would you recommend connecting them. I’m installing a pioneer double din and have always did the twist together electrical tape method but I want something a lot better and that will last long
Thanks sir
Thank you
Thank you

No. They can be used for up to 600V. I've used them for connecting strings of fluorescent lighting fixtures fed by 277VAC. Better than cutting, and twisting wire nuts for that application.
ok thank you for explaining to me
