Greeting, is this suitable for electrical jobs? Is it good for splicing wires?

Low voltage telecom wires are probably ok. But too flimsy and thin for 110v wires

Yes, and I purchased it for that purpose.Be careful when doing custom pc cabling, as you can damage the parts easily if you connect the wrong voltage or short something. Use the correct crimp tools and connectors/pins, refer to your power supply and component pinouts to confirm wire arrangement, and never splice cables.

Yes, that switch would work fine, assuming you have wire properly. It's actually a little overkill. An SPST switch would work and be less confusing to wire properly.

Sorry. I haven't used it for that. I would imagine though it would work. It does work on electrical wire heat shrink. Sorry I could not be of help.

This stuff is just not easy,first thing is, if you are unsure about the dies for a tool like this ??? Don't buy it.It is silly to think you would get the right answer from someone who may or may not know as much as you.The second thing is do you know what a good crimp looks like?How many times do you crimp it ? Whats it for, if it is a high current app. My point , it takes skill and knowledge to use a tool like this to end up with a SAFE and reliable conn.if you have the tool,then i recommend you send it back because you lack the electrical experience to do it properly

Does not have the circuitry for a high voltage low current pilot arc. It's strictly "touch and cut" though the arc can be maintained for a short distance from the work once started. I found the unit to be quite good for what I use it for, mostly sheet metal (less than 1/8") which it cuts quite cleanly. Have also used it to cut 1/2" round bar and 1/4" sheet steel, though that's slow and tends to leave a ragged cut.

It depends upon what your looking for. I would not used it for high voltage circuits such as spark voltage unless you use an inductive isolator like a coiled wire around spark plug wire. I used it to trouble shoot low voltage digital and analog circuitry in industrial inspection equipment.

This is not a soldering tool. It's a small heat gun, best use is for heat shrink tubing in tight areas and other duties that requires high heat being blown in a smaller area. I have no idea if it will work for your needs.

Should be okay. It is non-conductive. I have used it to clean battery terminals (12volt) as well as cleaning contacts on computer memory chip (low voltage).

Yes, that should work perfectly. I am not sure if it has any specifics for electrical, but that sounds exactly like what this stuff would be used for.

You could probably use this for soldering plumbing and cans but it is not for 'welding',. I have used mine to solder wires and to weld hdpe plastic.

I use this for my electrical car. What is nice is I can tell you that I see no current drop on this cable. I am getting the full 40 amps that my car is asking for. This cable is probably twice as thick as it needs to be and is definitely thicker then wires that feed it. Being a EE I would say you should have no problem as most units can handle as low as 90 volts prior to causing real problems. The only exception to this might be a electrical elements. I would not chain cables together as the cable is speced to its length hence the over-sizing of the wire size. Hopes this helps out.

Having to use one on a project, I cut one in half (length-wise). Scary - Really scary.These are not made with 20-gauge. Maybe not even 24-gauge. Barely larger than 30-gauge wire-wrap. I was going to strip and solder one end. But this will be difficult, even with a small, low-wattage soldering iron. These are probably fine for signal-level work (r.f. and audio). For higher voltage and current applications, it may be better (safer, at least) to construct your own jumper-cables.The Chinese continue to scimp on metal. Somthing to keep in mind when buying from Asia. Having to use one on a project, I cut one in half (length-wise). Scary - Really scary.These are not made with 20-gauge. Maybe not even 24-gauge.

Yes, it seems quite good. I am a former electrical engineer and this works well for my home hobby stuff. Easy to use. A little tricky setting up on windows 8, but they have information to walk you through it.

No, it is not. It is for crimping copper or aluminum connectors on cable of various size.

absolutely, get strong wire cutters, this is not flimsy wire mesh, its great wire. marisa

I'm not a licensed electrician, but that being said.... I have done a lot of "DIY" jobs. I don't believe this is rated for burial, at least there's no indication on the jacket that it is. However, if your going to be runing conduit underground (PVC or steal with water tight fittings) and running this inside (check code) but I'd say you should be fine. I'd aslo say cost wise you'd probbaly be better off with 4 individual wires that a jacketed cable....
