These are male/female pairs that connect two wires; you can disconnect the pair from each other, but you can't take either one off the wire and reuse it.
I use a ratcheting crimping tool with a variety of crimps and sizes most of the time. It functions admirably. I've used regular pinching pliers in a pinch and they've worked fine, but I prefer my specialized tool.

You crimp these, not the other way around.

The heat shrink is great, but the male spade is too tight in the female. It's as if sliding the spade in is completely impossible. I tried everything I could to get them to connect, but this is for small wires, so you have to be careful, and the amount of force required is impossible. For each female, I had to pry open the slot wider with a flat screwdriver. Each and every time, for a total of more than 50 pieces. Wiring was something I did a lot of. It was supposed to be quick, so I could just plug it in and play or unplug and swap it out as needed, but that wouldn't have worked if I hadn't widened the holes. Everything should be in working order at this point. Just sharing my solution in the hopes that others who encounter this issue will be able to solve it as well.
Garbage. When I finally needed these connectors, I realized how foolish I had been. br>br>I work with ratcheting croppers, have a lot of experience, and I do MIL-style work. Wiring diagrams are required. br>br>I dumped the entire shipment in the trash. br>br>Useless and far inferior to the junk that can be found at a discount auto part store. br>br>$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
For the price and heat shrink, I went with Glark's 100-piece kit. Some of the connections were extremely tight, bending the male ends on occasion, but I simply opened them up a little. Heat shrink worked well, and the wiring on my cart appears to be professional. Thank you.
Crimping is a technique I use. Heat shrink terminals are common, but these are the first I've seen that don't shrink down far enough on the wire; after all, what's the point if it doesn't shrink down on the wire? These will be thrown away.
They're garbage; I threw them away because they were slightly off in size, as if I received a bag that didn't pass quality control. Rubbish of no value.
To get on the spade of the switch, I had to use a screw driver to open the female end.
This is superior to the previous options I tried. It becomes solid after it has been heated and cannot be bent. If you need to bend it, make sure you do so after it has been heated.
