I thought this was a good tip for using these.

Thanks Vic,
Also saves the wires from falling out at the most inappropriate moment.
If you read the instructions for the orginal Raychem / Tyco sleeves you will find that twisting conductors together is only recommended for wires under 1mm2 (1.1mm dia, 18AWG, 19SWG).

One of the issues is that if strands are twisted the ends can be angled up and pierce the insulation.
On aircraft it unusual to use these to splice wires. They are normally used to terminate the screens of screened cables.

I just get annoyed that our colonial cousins cannot pronounce solder…
That’s because they have a different word for it which they pronounce correctly.

What word would that be? This American supplier (who I have visited) spell it solder but pronounce it soder.
