Heat-Shrink Tubing Kit # 15 : 144 Feet of Heat Shrink Tubing4 Different Sizes and 11 Different Colors
Heat shrink tubing is useful in a wide variety of applications, such as electrical insulation, color coding, splicing, termination, wire marking, mechanical protection, cable bundling, weather sealing and corrosion, moisture & abrasion protection. If you repair or restore electronics the use of heat shrink tubing is "a must". Insulating the leads of capacitors, resistors and other electronic parts and wires help reduce the chance of dangerous short circuits. Short circuits can result in (potentially fatal) electric shocks and fires. Also, if your radio, TV or other electrical appliance develops a short ... it will work poorly or not at all.
