This method is IDEAL when you only have a few connections to make, and don't feel like plugging in a soldering iron(waiting for it to heat up), don't have an electrical receptacle close by to plug the soldering iron into, just discovered your soldering iron's heating element is broken, have poor soldering skills that result in "cold soldered" connections, don't have a high enough wattage soldering iron, or would like to keep the soldering fumes to a minimum. I've been dealing with stupidity from Brits for at least 8-10 years regarding the word "Solder", so viewers that post comments criticizing how Americans pronounce words(disrespecting other countries dialects), will be automatically deleted. Thanks for watching!

Arjay Mania . You didn’t think of it. Clowns like you are always ready with the negative.I’ve been soldering for years and I think it’s a great tip.
@@arjaymania9178 Maybe you forgot the rosin flux ????
I have been using this method of splicing wires for decades. For extra protection on wires used outside like on vehicles and trailers I usually generously coat the splice with dielectric grease before shrinking the tube. I feel it makes the seal more corrosion resistant.
Hey G I have a backup camera I installed and had to make splices and add extra wire to reach the back of my pickup truck. The wires from the camera are so thin it was hard to remove the plastic insulation without cutting the wires. I only used electrical tape for connecting because of the thinness of the wire. I'm wondering if there is another method for connection. The camera works for the most part but occasionally I lose the connection and that's why I'm asking. Thanks in advance.

Seriously, thank you so much for posting this video, I’m about to wire a car project from scratch… perfect timing 👍😎
Glad I could help
How many connections are you going to be making in your car project? While this may be an expedient if you're caught in a specific situation where you need to make an emergency repair without a soldering iron, it's not really the best plan to go about doing a whole slew of connections.
I have been soldering for 50 years now. This looks like a great tip.

Brilliant !
I've been doing this for years.... well, the wrapping of the solder-wire is the new thing to me...

It works extremely well. Thanks for watching! Please share the video's link with others.
Your method of soldering is particularly useful when you need to make cross-wire connections especially in hard to reach places. I found it useful in my motorcycle where I couldn't take my power extension and soldering iron. I use the iron method in my home lab where I need to work on PCBs with space and movement constraints. All-in-all, a very good method but one needs to be very careful going live. Use of heat-resistant gloves, good safety goggles and adequate lighting condition are recommended for novice users.
Sir. You are A GENIUS. Thankyou very much. You should receive one or other kind of medal...

WAW!!! i am reaaally impressed by this technique! I hate to solder! i am so not good at this! this makes it so much easier! thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed the tip Alan. Please share. Thanks!
Brilliant. I have done something similar in the past but that technique is a vast improvement. By the way, when the shrink tubing is used, hot water from a recently boiled Kettle makes a neater, cleaner shrink.
I'd be cautious of not letting water become trapped in the shrink tubing against the wire where it can and will wick into the wire causing hard to find problems in the future.
I just learned something that at some point will save the date for me.
Great to hear! Be sure to share the video's link, and check out my wide range of videos. Thank you
Great idea and tip. I'll be doing this method at work. We rework and MacGyver broken harness, cables and other test wires. Thank you.
Well, what a surprise! When you started wrapping solder wire around the joint, I just thought, oh, another TH-cam gimmick. But far from it. I have soldered many wires together over the years and it has always been an absolute pain as one juggles with the wires and the solder. I will make a test joint later, just to try it out. Thanks! Truly useful.
That is one purdy solder joint. Definitely going to try your method.
Thanks for watching!
always struggled with the soldering iron holding it and holding the solder and in most cases trying to hold the wire as well. This seemed so easy. I almost can't wait for my next soldering project. Perfect thankyou
Glad I could help! Be sure to share the video link with others. Thank you
I learned how to solder, using two fingers for the solder, another two for holding the wire by watching an elderly mexican lady at one of my old jobs. She would use her thumb anf fore finger for the solder, her "flip-off" finger and ring finger for holding the wire. It took lots of practice but I found it to be pretty effective. She made fantastic green chili zlso!
Great tip, great technique! Thanks for showing us how to eliminate having a soldering iron in our tool kits, and being sure a wall socket is nearby when we have a simple job to do. However, if you have a compact Butane soldering tool available, it also works easily with this method.
Glad you liked the video! Be sure to share. Thank you

Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV
Excellent tip. Looks better than soldering (certainly with my lacklustre soldering skills)
Works even better with one of those pocket touch cigarette lighters you get at the gas station. This has been my preferred method for years. Solder is conductive, adhesive, and seals the copper connection from oxidation.
good vid. also it's a good idea to do a second layer of heat shrink with some sort of stiffer "splint" material so that the flexing occurs only in the unspliced area, because the repaired solder area is relatively stiff and will create a hing point/stress riser. The splint material could be a split layer of insulation or a trimmed zip tie material etc , anything to gradually transfer flexing away from the ends of the soldered area.
I use a bit of electrical tape directly over the soldered join. Then heatshrink. Works well.
Thanks! You just saved me twenty bucks.
Glad I could help!
NICE Job, looks like a Factory joint!!! Those three rolls at each end, just slid sideways into the middle hot zone!! Beauty!!! My New Preferred Method!!!
Thank you
I recently saw a new item/technique I believe here on YT. It's heat shrink tubing lined with an adhesive and two rings of solder, as you heat the shrink wrap the solder flows and the adhesive seals the connection making it waterproof.
This seems pretty cool but I don't think I'll be getting rid of my trusty Weller iron anytime soon!
That sounds convenient but I question how good the electrical connection would be.
My Weller iron is over 50 years old and still works like new !
Very pretty. Waaay. More complicated than using a soldering iron, but very clean.
What a great demonstration I'm hooked!

That was a very "neat" trick when one has no electricity or want a quick method. But if i have electricity I will go to solder if I have to and usually i am too lazy to do that so I just tie it and hope for the best. lol Now to project farm.... lol
Very nice! I solder small gauge wiring a lot but never tried that method! I will on my next project. Thx for sharing!!
It works beautifully once you get the knack!
Thanks 👍

Neat connection. Good job
The video should be called painless wire soldering. Much easier than using a soldering iron. I definitely will be using this method when extending the wiring harness in my project truck.
Yes. Many people have trouble getting a nice smooth flowed connection if a soldering iron is too low in wattage, or when the tip isn't properly tinned. This is easier.
It is good to have alternative methods available. In this case not having a soldering irons leaves you a couple of choices - either this way or crimp connectors. Thanks for this. i would consider using the basics of this even with a soldering iron.
Wicked idea perfect from start to finish keep it up
Thanks for the cool idea! I never thought of using a lighter to solder, but makes perfect sense! I'm going to thumbs up and subscribe to support your channel! Happy New Year!
Perfect with one minor caveat. Put the heat shrink tubing on the wire 'before' you solder (unless you have one open end where you can slide it on afterwards like you did. How many times did I forget to do that first? Too many so I had to comment. Thanks for the video.
Excellent point … 👍🏻
He did mention to do that in the video. But since he did have an open end he did it afterwards.
This was taught by ATG over 4 decades ago. This is very helpful when you have no electricity or no iron.
I've been doing it since the 90's. Never heard of ATG.
I have been searching for sucj a video - and yours is the best. A new subscriber you have :)!

Thanks b’cuz I suck at soldering!
Sweet Jesus. That's a nice looking connection. 👍
😀 Glad you liked the tip! Be sure to share. Thanks
I love that it's mechanically connected before the solder is applied. Extra strong!
What does Jesus have to do with it? Are you just using His name as a swear word?
Thank you so much and happy new year :)

You're welcome, and Happy New Year!
not going to lie. That is some good stuff.

It would be a lot faster just soldering after wires are twisted together. But never thought about using Flux on wire. I'll definitely try that.

Nice clean low resistance joint. Good video
Super handy trick. I just had to splice together about 20 wires in my truck door. I used those premade heat shrink tube with solder inside, but this seems cleaner and easier than that. much less bulk on each wire. I'll use this approach next time I need to make a splice.
Cute
Looks like it flowed really nice. I use uninsulated aluminum butt crimps then solder the whole works. Never have an issue. 👍
Whatever works. :-). Thanks for watching!

Ha! My soldering always goes wrong! I guess that video waa made for incompetent idiots like me who just won't get it!
@@fghelmke same idiot here lol! Had no luck with a solder iron but this worked perfectly!
IF YOU ARE JOINING TWO WIRES THAT ARE ALREADY ATTACHED AT THE OTHER END,
DON’T FORGET THE HEAT SHRINK TUBING ON ONE OF THE WIRES, OTHERWISE YOU
WILL HAVE NO WAY OF PUTTING IT OVER THE JOIN!
You could just cut it again and do this method again with 2 heat shrink sleeves. OOPS! I forgot again!
Please stop yelling at us.
Be sure to push the heat-shrink far enough away from the joint that it will not prematurely shrink as you heat the joint. Then (same reason) let the joint cool to a finger-safe temperature before positioning the heat-shrink over the joint for shrinking.
Thanks .. This is perfect for automotive stuff I need to tackle
@@craig7350 Obviously you are a crimp connector person. They leak they malform the wire connection and over time the metal connector corrodes with Galvanic corrosion or dissimilar-metal corrosion. Take your pick. I however would prefer my copper to be wound and soldered . The open flame fear you have is unfounded , exhaust systems are welded everyday with much larger torches ...
Very useful trip to have in your arsenal. Thank you.
OMG. Unbelievable! I have tried to solder stuff with a soldering iron & it comes out like shit. I just don't know how to do it right. THIS neat method will definitely be my go-to method in the very near future. Wish I knew this last weekend. Wow, just ... WOW! Thank you!
Make sure the wire is clean, practice makes perfect. Thanks for watching! Be sure to share the video link with others.
"it comes out like shit. I just don't know how to do it right."
The flux is the "secret" ingredient. It helps make clean soldered connections. For wires, like in this video, liquid rosin flux is ideal. For PCBs, there are 'no clean' and soluble liquid flux that you can wash with warm water.
I guess it is kind of obvious, but for most applications you need to slide on the heat shrink tube as the step BEFORE you do the splice. ( You had the benefit of the loose ends in the demonstration)
Yes, I explained that to viewers.
its a good tip for those technician....but killing such time of doing this...but at the end it looks good and its effective ...thanks for this idea.
Wow! This is something I was looking for, great video.
Thanks for watching Gyani!
As you did your close up of the wire after soldering, I started to blow on it haha. Just a habit of mine after I take the heat away of the piece.
I do it all the time. LOL
that, and the tactical exhale to keep the flux fumes away from your face. :D
Cuda FX Yup. I don’t have ventilation, so I blow every time lol. I see I am not alone
