Review: Great connector for certain applications..... - These are perfect for making taps into 16 ga lamp cord/landscape wire or most other types of regular wiring up to 14 ga. They allow you to tap in to a wiring run without cutting and splicing the existing wiring. No soldering, no tape or heatshrink, just a quick neat connection. The specs say they will accept 14 ga. stranded wire, but 16 ga. landscape wire was the biggest twin zip cord I was able to fit into them. Your results my be different depending on the thickness of the insulation. The bottom line is that the maximum outside diameter of the wire has to be less than .145 inch or less or it will not fit. They will accept smaller wire as well. Just make sure you stay within the published wire size limits. However, please note that these connectors are NOT greased or watertight. If you're making connections that will be subjected to significant moisture (direct burial, exposed landscaping, marine) 3M makes a much better device that comes pre-greased and protects the connection much better... the 3M Scotchlok Electrical IDC 804 connector. desertcart has them in bags of 100. They're more expensive, but they save a lot of time. I needed 120 connectors for my landscape lighting project, some in really damp areas, and some in drier areas (inside walls, etc.) so I bought 100 of the greased connectors for the wet areas, and a bag of these cheaper ones for the dry areas (inside walls, inside conduit, etc.). I still put a shot of silicone grease inside these before making my connections anyway just to be safe. The landscaping suppliers charge as much as FOUR DOLLARS EACH for their connectors, and most of them aren't even close to as watertight as the IDC 804 connectors, making them a much better and more economical choice if you have a large project. I have individually reviewed the IDC 804 connectors too for anyone who's interested.
Review: Inline splice - Worked perfectly and I’m likely pushing them to their limit. Used for splicing wires for 16 gage low voltage lighting. The cord is rated for direct burial so it has a thicker than normal sheath but these connectors just barely accepted the cord. Made positive connections with no issues. Had to be a little careful when squeezing the metal blade closed but not bad. Sealed it with multiple layers of liquid tape for waterproofing. Should hold up well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product. You will not be disappointed with these!
*by Z***H on March 8, 2017*

I purchased these to aid in installing a remote start system in my car. They were very handy and I couldn't imagine doing the job without them. What I really like about these is that you can splice two wires together very quickly and efficiently, all without causing damage to either wire, meaning if you spliced the wrong wires together, you can just pop these off and don't have a huge mess to deal with like you would if you had stripped, spliced, and soldered the wires together. In my case, using these connectors saved me from splicing and soldering about twenty wires together all in very tight spaces in the dash of my car. They made the job so much easier and are totally worth the investment.
