Found this on Facebook and it is heat shrink tubing with a metal connector inside that is made out of low temp solder, insert the 2 wires mesh together and heat and you wind up with a water proof electrical bond, Bill
Homie Shack?
Oh the joke potential right there…
Those are interesting , I like the idea
I will stick to the solder of old for a higher melting temperature, esp. for outdoors. I do use heat shrink over my connections.
Seems iffy to me, I guess I’m an old school guy who likes to be able to inspect solder connections before covering them up. With these I guess the only way to check for a good connection would be a pull test. Without a proper amount of flux you might just end up with wires that are touching but not properly soldered. Water resistant maybe, very few things are water proof !
Here is a link that shows you how to solder them.
guess most people are still using a rotary dial phone, LOL

I have an I phone that I hate using for telephone calls.
Staying on “topic” after rereading twice as suggested. Nothing is “waterproof” except a frogs ass. However that is my opinion only or for those that prefer text…IMO

Well there are some downsides to this gadget, it’s definitely not perfect.
So, it has it’s place but for the downsides, I think I’ll stick to my methods.
It’s apparently been invented for quick in the field splices of “holiday lights”.
