Large gauges useful

I watched a guy on a YouTube channel use the Soldersticks on a project and thought I’d give them a try. I was working on a project yesterday and went to get my soldering gun, solder, shrink tubing and hot air gun preparing to splice a couple of wires. Then it dawned on me that I had bought these Soldersticks a couple weeks ago and decided to give them a try. I’ve got to say that they work like magic. I was very impressed with how well they worked. I was a little reluctant when I purchased them thinking they might be another gimmick but they are not that at all. I’ll be buying more when I start to get low on supply.

The product is great. The only thing I wish is that they would deliver to Alaska.

The soldersticks worked great. Super easy. I'll buy more when I need more.

When you need a solder joint, but don't want to spend the time and effort. Very impressive!

Easy to use, fills a need in the shop, does exactly what it should simply and effectively.

Easy website to navigate. Great prices and fast shipping. Thanks

I have always used non-insulated crimp connectors on all of my wiring. I was a heavy equipment mechanic for 45 years, and I started using non-insulated crimp fittings + solder + heat shrink about 25 years ago. I have had no failures in my soldered connections. I bought a box of Solder Stick connectors, and a box of eyelets. When I bought them, I was intrigued to say the least, but I had no need to use them right away. A few months down the road, I had to rewire one of my utility trailers, so I was excited to try the Solder Stick merchandise. I tried 3 different times to just join two 14 gauge wires together. I, at first, used the little heat gun that Solder Stick sold, and it would not get the solder hot enough to melt. Next I used my micro propane torch, and it would get hot enough to melt the solder, but the heat-shrink caught on fire. After the test wires cooled off, I pulled on them, and 2 out of the 3 came right apart. To say That I was unhappy was an understatement. I decided to return both assortments, BUT, when I E-Mailed Solder Stick, they told me that there was only a 30 day window for returns! Period! After several E Mails back and forth, they would not budge on the returns. I refuse to use this product, as I feel that I can't trust that the connections will hold. It is sad that this company will not stand behind their product. I will continue to use my bare crimp connectors + solder + heat shrink. I can trust the connection when I do it this way. Those Solder Stick assortments will go to the trash bin!!!
