How-to do-it-yourself instructional on creating superior crimp connections for 6, 12, 24 and 32 volt systems. Alright, so today on Repairs101: I thought I'd take you through the process of making reliable and weather-proof crimp connections for six, twelve, twenty-four and thirty-two volt electrical systems. OK well I think pretty much everyone's had a kit like this one where you get a multi-pack full of all kinds of different terminal connections and butt connectors and bullet connectors and even some fuses thrown in for good measure. And, you know, it will come with a crimping tool / wire stripper that looks like this one here and it's going to be a reasonably good connection and serve you fairly well. But I don't use these anymore and I don't use this crimp tool anymore. I find the style of insulated terminals to be inferior to un-insulated. So I much prefer to use un-insulated terminals like these ones here and a pair of terminal pliers like this one and a piece of shrink-tubing over the end. If I can't find un-insulated terminals I'll take the insulated type, just grab the end of it with my terminal pliers and just pull it off like that and then it's un-insulated. OK so I'm going to take a piece of ten gauge wire -- you can see it's marked there. OK so I'm just going to take a piece of shrink tubing and cut it down to size and before we do anything we're going to shrink a little piece of shrink-tubing over the end. Remember to do it first because you'll find you can ...
