A quality product. It has a dual wall plastic cover; the inner wall is glue and the outer wall shrinkable plastic. When heat is applied, the plastic shrinks (ratio 3:1) and the glue (polyolefin) melts to form a good seal. The best crimps are done with a ratcheting terminal crimper, which applies the correct pressure (see further below). There is a broad selection of crimps in the kit, both the type and the size (9 types in 3 sizes). A dual wall crimp saves space when that is scare, like on a boat or travelling remotely in a car. I take a selection of crimps in a smaller container to save even more space. The 540 piece kit has enough crimp terminals for most general purpose tasks around the boat or car. This is the best all round terminal kit I have purchased. There is a difference between a single wall and dual wall crimp, the glue in the dual wall gives a stiffer result with less movement, but it also improves the overall strength. If you an issue with vibration (like Outback Australia or Africa) a single wall crimp maybe better, as it reduces the damage caused by corrugations/vibrations by allowing more movement reducing the damaging effects of corrugations. Choose the best option for a given job. CRIMPING TIPS Some suggestions on getting good crimps: 1. Buy quality terminals like the Wirefy. 2. Purchase a good wire stripper like the IRWIN VISE-GRIP 2078300 Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper or the Klein Tools 11063W Katapult Wire Stripper. 3. Purchase a Ratcheting Terminal Crimper. If you want a variety of dye heads for different jobs look at the SG Tool Aid SGT18980 Ratcheting Terminal Crimping Kit. iwiss makes a range of specialist crimpers. 4. Strip the insulation from the wire to the correct length with the wire stripper (note how much quicker, easier and better quality the wire stripper is compared to a pair of pliers). 5. Match the Wirefy terminal to the wire thickness (important for good crimps). 6. Place the terminal in the correct dye in the crimping tool. I gently close the crimper to lock the dye onto the terminal but without compressing the terminal, then I insert the wire into the terminal and compress the crimping tool. 7. Using the correct size dye and placing the terminal correctly into the dye is important. 8. A ratcheting crimper applies the correct pressure to make a great crimp. 9. Use an electric/butane heat gun to shrink the plastic cover and melt the glue. I apply heat until I can see the crimp seal and a little glue comes out of the plastic cover. Wirefy terminals are translucent so you can see through the plastic to inspect the seal. 10. Let it cool. Job done. Test the crimp. 11. Common mistakes when crimping: a) not matching the wire size to the crimp terminal, b) not using the correct dye for a given terminal type, c) not correctly placing the crimp terminal correctly in the dye jaws. 12. Practice is important. Develop a good technique before using crimps in real life. I have cheap terminals and old wire and I practice to develop a good technique before doing a job for real. Test both single and dual wall terminals and see for yourself the differences in stiffness I discussed above. The initial cost of the tools can be expensive, but they will give you a life time of service. One job I did on my car, meant the tools paid for themselves. I wish I had brought them years ago! Buying the larger size kits like the 540 Wirefy saves money. I spilt the terminals between me and 2 friends – we all get a selection and a big cost saving. Buying terminals in small kits is very, very expensive. I have found more uses for the crimps than I originally thought.

The thing I like the most about these crimp connectors, they have a crimping tool that is related to them. Unfortunately, not all of these crimp connectors are completely waterproof / water resistance. The heat shrink material does not completely cover the electrical connection. That's the only reason why I gave it a 3. However, they are far better than the non-shrink types out there. I do a lot of trailer light repair on the side, {horse trailers, boat trailers, various farm equipment and etc}. Most of them get abuse due to the elements they are in. Most of the lighting issues is from corrosion in the connections in the wiring. It is tedious to use a non-shrink crimp with separate shrink material. Getting the right size is the headache. This is a major benefit with these connectors as the heat shrink and crimp connect are combine together, crimp n shrink. Cuts out half the time. There has been several good comments about the heat shrink binding to the wire's insulation. This will help with vibration on the connection point, preventing wire breakage. Overall, this is the better way to go and would recommend this to anyone !!!

This review is by a retired FAA A&P Part 121 (commercial) technician: These terminals are decent quality for most applications. I am using a Titan Tools 11477 Ratcheting Wire Terminal Crimper. It took 2 adjustments on this crimper to get the proper compression. (Note: Titan has a special crimper designed for heat shrink terminals). IMHO the standard crimper works just fine as long as the crimper tension is adjusted properly for the wire gauge being used. The shrink sleeve is real good. Doesn't squeeze out or tear like some I've come across. Using a temp controlled heat gun, it seals well at 575 degrees and provides excellent strain relief . My one star deduction is for the length of the shrink barrel. It's a little shorter than some and doesn't have quite the crimp area I would prefer. (yes, I'm very picky) Possibly why I had to adjust the crimper on the tight side. Make sure you check for wire pull out after crimping. I would buy these again.

Very nice kit

A nice product. Heat shrink is good quality. I have used crimp style connectors for years. The old hard plastic connectors are alright and rarely failed; however I feel these deliver a far superior end product. Glad to use them in my business. I've been using these for 2 years. Hundreds of connections, no failures yet.

The connectors have worked well for me and seem to be a good quality. The connector is crimped easily and the heat shrink portion works flawlessly, and I have full confidence that it is sealed and can be used in an engine compartment or under a car. I was a little disappointed that the number of pieces was partially upped by quite a few butt connectors. Overall great product and a great addition to my electrical tool box.

Very poor quality connectors - went straight into bin.

Sehr gute Qualität, Verklemmung löst sich nicht und der Schrumpfschlauxh verklebt vernünftig.

Terminali di buona qualità in tre diverse misure di diverse tipologie, ottimi per creare connettori elettrici sicuri, ben isolati e resistenti. Vanno utilizzati con la loro pinza a crimpare e una pistola ad aria calda per fare ritrarre le guaine. Con un minimo di manualità il risultato finale è perfetto. Li ho utilizzati per realizzare progetti fai da te come un pacco batteria LiFePo4 e piccole riparazioni. Consiglio l'acquisto a chi ama lavori di qualità.

Hele goed kwaliteit, maakt het na het krimpen mogenlijk om een waterdichte verbinding te maken. Perfect voor de automotive industrie.
