[GophersGarage]

Huh learn something new all the time. I installed car audio and electronics for about eight years and never heard of this before, now I got to have one lol. Snap on makes a 5 pc set for about $100. MATCO has a two piece set for about same amount but it comes with crimpable tubing that you feed through tool, crimp wire to tube and pull it back. No experience with either wish I knew about these sooner!

BTW the Thexton 926 in pic looks exactly like the MATCO at half the price.

That one looked like it was too big of diameter for thinner wires. But could be just picture

We use this OTC set at work along with the fiberglass rods you can get from Lowes, Home Depot, or Amazon.

I own the snap on flexible kit. Used it a handful of times and love it.

The snap on multi tip is too fancy, I didnt need all those different diameters. IMHO. Edit: The flex SO set above didnt exist back when I was doing it. Its an interesting concept but how do you keep it rigid enough ?

Best in my opinion was the Thexton. Back when I did stereo installs it was the Thexton and a old metal radio antenna.

I have only had the need for something like this 1-2 times in my life but typical of GJ, you guys make me want to buy one "just in case"
