6 Ways to Rethink Removing Shrink Wire Connectors

Shrink wire connectors are about as permanent as spliced wires can get.

Lined with industrial-strength adhesive and premium metal contacts, these dual-wall, 2:1 polyolefin tubes mean business. When you need electrical connections that won't break down, melt down, or let down, shrink wire connectors are the way to go.

So if there ever comes a time when you need or want to take them down, here are: 6 tricks you should know. 6 "things" to think about.

1. They're almost impossible to mess up

Shrink wire connectors are easy to use and hard to screw up. They do all the hard work for you. They guarantee wires achieve the highest connectivity, receive the safest electrical flow, and leave them protected stronger and longer than any other method. They're also cost-effective. If your first try isn't flush, evenly heated, or air-bubble free there's no guilt or reason not to just grab another and try again.

2. Start right, stay tight

Shrink wire connectors eliminate guess and check installations and prevent double-checking for the duration of their use. Once your wires are set in and that adhesive is melted down, you don't have to worry about that connection ever again. Come high water or hellish weather, there's literally no wiggle room in your wires. Shrink wire connectors stay where you put them ensuring your connections start right and stay tight.

3. Cut your losses any time

If for some reason you decide you don't like reliable results and consistently superior performance, you can remove a shrink wire connector at any time. It's going to outperform and outlast any traditional wiring methods though. They're also color-coded by AWG wire size. You can always cut them off and cram a soldering iron or roll of tape under your dash or deck, but with a solution as simple and speedy as shrink wire connectors, anything else would just be silly and subpar.

4. 3-steps on, 1-step off

Shrink wire connectors are the best, safest way to splice wires. They install in 3 simple steps: select the size, slide into each side, and shrink to fit. However, if you make a mistake or ever need to resplice, they remove in just 1-step. Snip. That's it. Use sharp scissors, wire cutters, or any precision blade to cut off the connector. It will take some time and careful cutting though. Since they're designed to be rigid, rock-hard, and protective, expect them to put up a little bit of a fight. After all, that's why you chose to use them in the first place.

5. Love 'em, Leave 'em

Wiring and electricity are dangerous if not done right. When you use shrink wire connectors you know you're getting reliable results and perfectly powered performance between every connection, every time. Shrink wire connectors bring peace of mind to your projects big and small and your vehicles wet or dry. It's pretty impossible not to love them and just leave them be.

6. What are you really removing?

Shrink wire connectors are easy to use, affordable, convenient, compact, and reliable. They deliver unbeatable protection and consistently excellent connections.

Using them removes risks, fire hazards, wasted money, lost time, doubt, worry, and stress.

If you do want to take them down, just cut them off and start again. The only hard part is trying to figure out why you'd really want to.
