Vector Slit-and-wrap ... no problems with using it. My experience exactly. Read ( then follow [8*)] ) the directions!!! Using Vector's wire I had several 100-200 chip industrial controllers wired up by untrained (i.e., machinist) people with no failures. My only problem occurred when a trained electronics tech rotated the tool the wrong way. Great labor saver.

I did try a Radio Shack model. Using Tefzel insulated wire the slit insulation remained in a hairy cloud around the connection. In my brief experience I had no bad connections but they looked so crummy I stopped using the tool. Bob Niemi, Astronautics, Madison, WI
