Soldering is far superior to the crimp connectors. Chemical and mechanical bond ftw.

I’m not saying you’re doing it wrong, but a soldered joint done properly will be WAY stronger. A crimped union should be plenty strong though.

That’s one of the ugliest splices I’ve ever seen. Might as well just use some crimping connectors if you wanna half-ass it. Here’s the right way to splice:

I haz a sad.

Let no one ever say Jalopnik does not provide practical consumer advice.

Whenever I see Dreamliner on Jalopnik....

Because if they’re too close then they hit you when you brake faster than they’re expecting?
