Huge shrink wrap?

[PedeBasher]

Where do you guys get your huge shrink wrap that goes around your deans plugs and wires? I would like some to clean up my wires.

Harbor freight is where I get mine, 1/2" fits good for deans.

Heatshrink tubing you mean? ebay, or just about any decent electrical hobby place has it from what i've seen- try hobbycity or allerc.com.

I go to ebay myself- tons of places if you try a few different key words.

Unless you want that cable sheathing stuff that PC guys use to tidy up their wiring- just search for.... cable sheathing

Here's an ebay option (if you don't mind waiting for shipping) - 127 Piece Heat Shrink Tubing Set w/Organizer.... If these aren't what your looking for, you'll find a whole lot more on there.

HobbyCity sells it by the meter at .15cents for 2mm up to- 2.65 for 100mm per meter and of great qaulity.

I bought 24 meters in various sizes, I'm good for the rest of my LIFE .


Harbor Freight and Tool another great place to score it, bought a couple boxes or precut assorted diameters at 3.99 each, was a great deal but the qaulity is so-so.

5mm black at hobbycity is something like 16 cents a meter. Most other small sizes are 25 cents a meter. They started getting bigger sizes (14mm iirc) at 99cents per meter. I have lots of sizes, but my favorite is the 5mm and the smallest; I think it's 2mm.

Nice, giving directions from halfway around the world

Actually, some radio shack stores carry nothing but cell phones anymore. Closest one to me has very little electronics parts/supplies, have to go to the next farther one to get better selection.

The closest Radio SHack to us is the same way, down to cell phones and some HD TV set up items - cables etc - I usually only go there to buy disk type batteries. They didn't have as many cr2032s as I wanted last time and I checked grocery store in the same parking lot on a whim - they had plenty of them and they were ~25% cheaper.

I won't be going back to Radio Shack anymore.

Pshhhh I know I have a Radio Shack silly! All they carry are TVs and very few computer parts.

I may pick up the shrink wrap box that..... someone.... posted. That looks like a great deal for me as I dont use shrink wrap that much.

Yeah, let's be honest - I wouldn't have a clue about Radioshack, I was just being a smartarse

25 meters of heatshrink... I went thru that in a month when I used to rebuild batteries. A typical order for me was about 70 bucks from cheapbatterypacks.com. This was for pack sized shrink, but I usually ordered alot of it, 40 feet or more.
