Good luck using those on the wide terminals made for 2-wires.
Those look pretty much identical to my spark plug wire tool, I thought about that, but the connection is too small for it
That looks like it just might do the trick. I can see it has the smaller crimper, and thats what I was concerned about
something like this?
That's what they are made for. You do each crimp separately, one for the conductor and one for the insulation. I probably sold a couple hundred of those on my tool truck. Professional techs loved them. The farm inplement techs used them the most. There are miles of harnesses on combines and planters that get tore up in the field or chewed up by critters in the machine shed during the off season.
That's a positive connection.
LOL. I won't get in the middle of that but I could see issues both ways. I sold a butt load of terminal tooks and propane soldering tools on the truck. I didn't have any aviation shops but a lot of ag techs did use solder. Lots of vibration dirt and the like.
I understand what they're made for. I have the Mac version of that tool. The problem I had with it is it won't fit a wide open barrel terminal that's made for two wires. Even twisting the two wires together and using a larger single wire terminal doesn't work very well. I ended up buying a ratcheting type with properly sized jaws.
I got them from Herbs, well technically I got them from Ebay, Herbs had them listed there as well as selling them online.
My pleasure
You know what is kind of funny; I am pretty good at welding, but I suck at soldering. Maybe I should find some videos on YouTube and just practice.
Same as welding. Use the right equipment and wire/rod size for what you are soldering. The solder in most box store soldering kits is way too big for effectively working on 16ga auto wire. PIA to deal with. Get some much thinner solder, easier to melt and control. I see a ton of cold joints out there too...
