Heat Shrink Tube

As Described

Works better than averted

I have already had the occasion to use these several times around the house and garage. So far they have done exactly what I expected them to do. Just slide it over the exposed copper, heat it up and watch it constrict - just like shrink tubing is supposed to do. Surprisingly, I have appreciated the variety of sizes more than I expected to when I realized the places I could use them. I'm thinking this collection could be a nice little gift to some of the other household handymen I know.

First, I have to admit, every time I look at the product page I wonder why they show bottles of wine on the main product image - only once I look closer, it's just showing examples of the tubing shrinking down per the 4:1 ratio as advertised :-) Humor aside, this is great 200-piece set with a variety of tube sizes all 3-1/2 inches in length. I used a few of them on a recent stereo console remodel for a few simple wire splices and these worked out perfectly. The connections were strong and stable, and provided more than enough protection given the adhesive lining. No issues cutting these and they did definitely shrink at a 4:1 ratio as stated. This is a quality set at a great price. It'll probably be a while before I need to purchase another since this has so many pieces included but I would definitely buy this set again.

The pack of two hundred assorted size heat shrink tubing by Eventronic / AyhhOffical / Runtai New Material Technology are made in PRC (china). There is an adhesive lining that appears to be heat activated. The tubing does not appear to be any thicker than my normal marine grade heat shrink tubing. This tubing shrinks well using hot air at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. I did not find the heat shrink joint to be flexible, but it does have some bending ability while being stiff. I think a good value for this 200 piece assortment is closer to $8. The included plastic box does has a latch that will deform over time and break with frequent use, but does a good job keeping the sizes separated and organized. All the pieces in my kit are black in color and there are not enough of the larger sizes. 4 stars
