What do you think of this? --- End quote --- Or should I go with the name brand stuff ? Like 3M? I looked for it but could find no multi size pack. Andy |

If you want good quality stuff - do NOT get it from unknown suppilers from Ebay. (Unless someone here can recomend a particular suppiler on Ebay) Use the usual electronics suppliers : Farnell/Element14 etc You could try the hobbiest suppliers like Sparkfun. They will have good quality stuff for reasonable prices. |

I never had problems with those variety packs. I'm not even sure what can go wrong here. You heat it, it shrinks. I have only used it for low voltage stuff. Not sure if there are any issues at high voltages. |

Before heat-shrink existed consumer level we all managed to solder wires without it (and still do). It's nicer than bare wire or electrical tape but not essential. I'm assuming as a beginner this guy is not a linesman working on kV stuff. ;D |

What you have there is good for most general purpose applications.But if your interested here's a PDF that shows an example of varying types and applications from this particular manufacturer. https://www.newark.com/pdfs/techarticles/alphaWire/HeatShrinkTubing.pdf |
