care to explain why?
When the solder cooled back to its solid state, it never gave a mechanical connection strong enough to resist even a little bit of tugging.
A good hand-soldered connection requires quite a bit of solder and heat to really wick into the wires.
In these heat-shrink solder butt splices, there just isn't enough solder (or heat) present to accomplish that.
Instead, the solder just forms a small crusty blob around the outside of the wires.
Guess I am extremely bored today, made you a special video buddy!
I could not break the wire period and that's with 2 sets of pliers. and using a lighter is not recommended at all, but i figure if your on the road, your only going to have a lighter available.
