And the green does too. Woohoo! (The beeping on both videos is the continuity tester on my multimeter)

Incidentally. I bought a box of the wrong size JSTs so I have a bunch to practice on and ruin. My project needs 1mm/1.5mm ZH/SH connectors and 2.54 for standard pcb/breadboard connections. These 2mm PH are no immediate use so gonna make a bunch of useless practice cables.

Aside: pre-crimped wires are a thing and that’s what I plan to use where possible. I need to learn manual process though, to do some components that came with uncrimped wires already attached.

Next adventure in wire-harnessing will be punch-down IDC connector for ribbon cable..

This is my wax-on/wax-off plan as well.

Man, I just got into building speakers which requires endless stripping and crimping and I hated it so much.
So I just made myself do 100x strip and crimps and taught my hands to do it (hat tip @visakanv).
Now it just happens without me thinking about it.

Bought the Iwiss tool recommended plus DuPont connector kit. Considering doing a mix of JST and DuPonts for what I need.

A few months ago I was looking into what people who build experimental airplanes use. Obviously regular wirestrippers work for many purposes, but along the way I found amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RF which turned out to be delightful.

I like Ideal brand strippers and some other brand I'm not remembering rn (CHP?). No matter what you use, buy good quality, this is not the place to skimp (you'll waste wire and won't save money). And maybe there are good automatic strippers out there I'm not aware of.

I’ve been pretty happy with my basic Klein strippers tbf

Lots of people like automatic strippers, I dislike them somewhat intensely. Can be great (easy/fast) but can also strip conductors (which you don't want). Regular strippers require technique but fast/good once you learn. Half press to score insulation then full press to strip.
