Free samples, Shrink wrap
« on: September 21, 2008 - 05:54:20 PM »
Our company gets a lot of free samples sent to us.

Every week we get connectors, Shrink wrap tubing and connectors.

I have 2 large shrink wrap tubes about 4" long to the first person who asks for them.
Please don't ask for them if you aren't going to use them right away. Leave them for someone who does really need them. I'll get more stuff and post here if there is enough interest in wire connectors wanted.

What's the recommended wire diameter for that?  It looks like battery cable stuff?  6G or 4G?

Don't need it but it may help someone.

I'll start looking for connectors then. Post pics and if possible, the dimensional drawing from the mfg.

I'm not really clear from your description what you're describing. Is there an application or a picture?

a friend bought a 70 Chall from LA & it had a type of butt connector with a tapered steel pin in the center & threaded end caps , , you do not need to strip the wire just insert it through the hole in the end cap & tighten it , the tapered pin pushes into the wire end & flares it so it will not pull apart & become water tight , if you need to disconnect the wire it takes seconds to unthread it & reconnect it later , just wondered who made them as them seem like a great Idea , my friend would like to get some more of them if possible

Interesting. I copied your description and sent it to my work e-mail to look into this further. A picture would be helpful if you can get one.

Better yet, could you get me a sample?
Once I locate the source, theres a good chance I may be able to get multiple samples.
