Default Re: Crimp Wiring Tool

here is a four-way crimp, they do NOT work well on those ends. I put the ends one at a time in between the arms on my soldering iron, heat it up fill it with solder install wire, let the trigger off let it cool for five seconds. and move on to the next one

A similar but alternative method that I use. Cut a small piece of solder off the spool, put it in the end of the fitting. Heat as JW showed, once it's in liquid form, you push the wire in the fitting, let it cool and remove.

The solder in the fitting is essentially a slug you insert in the fitting. Just a simple method to do the same thing with only two hands.
