If you don't need waterproof connectors these work real well. If a permanent waterproof connection is needed I drip a little liquid tape in the ends.

Yes Posilocks are great. I met and talked to the owner/inventor of the company. Very nice guy. He said the hardest part of getting the business off the ground is people don't know what it is, since it's a new idea. He went on to say that if you want to succeed fast, improve an existing product instead. - MEXICOWANDERERExplorerAnyone? That's potent overall coverage advice :)
- Cummins12V98Explorer IIIJust the simple crimp and shrink connectors are more than anyone needs for a RV. That's what I use on my Boat.
- MEXICOWANDERERExplorerWhen they add BISMUTH to Pb and Sn melt temperature drops by a hundred degrees. That's the magic formula.
- theoldwizard1Explorer IIYes, they look interesting, but I can not find refills for specific sizes.
I think I would buy their crimp with shrink tube set instead. Large selection of various type of terminals.
Or of you just want butt splices. - JOHNZExplorerWhen you soldier stranded wire the solder wicks up the strands and males them stiff and brittle. Then under vibrating condititions they have a greater tendency to break.
- GordonThreeExplorerCold soldered butt joint? How much force required to break the joint, more or less than a double crimped butt joint?
- wa8yxmExplorer IIIHave not tried them MYSELF but... There is an internet TV show. Ham Nation. and a second one the url is amateurlogic.TV both feature one of the same "Stars" George Thomas. He does the "Smoke and solder" section on Ham Nation.
I Think it was on Ham Nation he reviewed those connectors. They worked. But he questioned how strong the joint was physically.
