AKA, the Western Union splice. The fact that Nasa is using telegraph repair technology should attest to how good that splice actually is.

Have you seen me pull a pickup truck by a 12-awg wire spliced that way? lol
I've actually migrated away from that method to the waterproof butt-connects for applications where convenience matters more than connection quality (like splicing wires that trigger relays) - but I still use it on important stuff like sensors and such.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.

With crimping there's no heat until you get the heat source out so no chance of fouling your heat shrink tube or burning the wire's insulation.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD
