Your message to us: Hi David, I have just watched your video on splicing wire. Thanks. However, I have always found difficulty in twisting the strands of the exposed wire to form a single twisted section, e.g. to test connections are working. I discovered though that after using the wire cutters to break the plastic sleeve, if I pull it away only a little bit (rather than removing the unwanted plastic in one go) I can grip the sleeve much better to roll and start twisting the strands together. I can then slowly pull the unwanted sleeve, continuing to roll the unwanted section between thumb and finger until it is completely removed. The result is a really tightly rolled end to the wire with no loose strands :). You may already know this trick but I pass it on in case, in which case it is useful to pass on to other customers.
Great explanation on how to extend wires. Thanks
