Waterproof connectors was created by TexasKZ
If these really work, they could make wiring projects much easier for the ammeters among us.

A good soldering iron (skills) and some piece of shrink tube do the same job.

The factories don't use solder joints tho. Factory correct connectors are available but the crimping tool is like $200+ US. That's why I'm thinking mitigate at that point

To install open barrel terminals which are the same as stock there are affordable crimpers available. I already had a Harbor Freight ratcheting crimper, but the dies were wrong, so I got the correct open barrel die set off of amazon.com. CycleTerminal.com has a crimper that costs about the same as what I ended up paying in total, about $30 or so. Z1Enterprises.com may have a crimper as well.

They'll do for butt connectors.  Very common in the recreational marine industry.  The set shown has sizes unlikely to be useful on a bike.

Never heard of chicdelta.  Looks like a poorly-performing Chinese site.  They're really vilified on fakebuuk.

Amazon has same/similar items cheaper, especially if bought in bulk.
