XHF UL Listed 1/2 Inch 10Ft 3:1 Waterproof Heat Shrink Tubing Roll Marine Grade Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tube, Insulation Sealing Oil-Proof Wear-Resistant Black

Great shrinkage ability! Easy to use, perfect size to get over larger items and still shrink enough to protect the item.

Used this heat shrink tubing for wiring on my car project, and I’m honestly impressed. It shrinks evenly, seals tight, and that adhesive lining really locks out water and dirt perfect for under-hood or marine use. I even tested it with a heat gun and lighter, and it held up without melting or bubbling. The roll length is generous, so you won’t run out mid-project, and it feels way more durable than the cheap stuff that splits. If you’re doing any kind of automotive, electrical, or hobby work, this is the tubing you want — clean, professional results every time.

Excellcent product. Needed to regrip a Fiskars Loppers handle that failed. The grips became sticky and grimey. So i figured i would try the heat shrink. Worked out perfectly! FISKARS needs a redesign on their handle grips. They denied my warranty claim. They basically melted from the summer heat in the garage.

Good assortment, shrinks and adheres well, but 8 different sizes divided into 4 compartments makes it difficult to quickly find the size you're looking for. Good value and looks good while providing a durable wrap over bare wire and even crimped ends of connections.

Worked great my phone charger at the connection was coming apart used it on that now it's perfect was able to heat shrink it with a Bic lighter.

This stuff is amazing. After trying several other shrink tubing and not having any success, I finally found this stuff which is the correct ratio of 3 to 1 which helps you to actually get a good seal around smaller wire, which can be hard to do since blade type connectors are all the same size no matter how small a wire gauge they go. Other shrink tubing might be good for 12AWG but not 16AWG whereas this is good for both. It’s also adhesive and you can tell it’s making a good seal and sticking to the wire, not just shrinking but not sticking, for which there is no purpose. I just ran out after like a year of using this for various projects and came to this page to repurchase and also maybe get larger shrink tubing for battery terminals. I want to see if they make them in the larger size since the 1/4” I got worked so well for so long. It’s seriously a staple in my kit.

My True treadmill front roller is small diameter (1.75") and had a plastic sleeve on it to increase friction for advancing the belt. In time, this sleeve split and bunched up causing an annoying sound when using the treadmill. The fix for this is to remove the remnant plastic sleeve, clean the roller and cover it with a piece of shrink tube. The 2" variety of XHF tube was selected and delivered in one day by Amazon. A heat gun was sufficient to shrink the tube onto the treadmill roller, although not without a few small ripples in the finished job. After reassembly with the shrink tube covered roller the treadmill is operating perfectly and much quieter than before. The XHF shrink tube worked well for this application and I am very satisfied with the result at low cost. The small ripples noted in the result appear to have no effect on treadmill operation but it would be a neater job without them. Here are some ideas that might help reduce the likelihood of a wrinkle: the shrink tube is delivered flat - introducing creases midway between the existing creases might help the shrink tube fit more uniformly around the roller prior to shrinkage; shrink the tube a little bit at a time over its entire length rather starting in the middle as I did and shrinking that section down tight before moving toward the ends. Edit 1/11/2020 The treadmill developed an annoying sticky-flappy sound again after nine months of quiet. The sleeve previously applied on the treadmill roller with the heat shrink tube was loose and would easily slide up and down the roller - a snug fit still, but no longer fixed tightly to the roller (so much for the ‘adhesive’ properties this heat shrink tubing is supposed to have). This small space between tube and roller must be the cause of the noise. (I missed a trick here: I should have tried to affix the sleeve again by applying heat). I tried unsuccessfully to use shrink tube of initial diameter 1.75 but could not get it on the roller more than a few inches before friction got too great to pull it on further. So back to the original 2” shrink tube. Luckily the length of the roller was less than 24" so I had plenty left over from the initial four foot section to make another roller cover. I sanded the surface of the treadmill roller to make it rougher and cleaned it well with isopropyl alcohol. I tried flattening the tube to set a crease halfway from the initial crease in the using piles of books; that didn't really do much to add a new permanent crease. I did change my shrinking technique a little: starting at one end I concentrated on first shrinking the portions of tube that stuck out most from the roller (caused by the crease from the flattened tubing). After shrinking those portions on opposite sides of the roller, I applied heat to the area in between. By this method I was able to shrink the tube on the roller with practically no remaining ripples or bumps; a big improvement over the first attempt. I used a Dewalt heat gun at 400 degrees F for shrinking and the process took about twenty minutes. This sort of tubing is supposed to shrink at around 210 F but it would be an incredibly slow process. I toyed with the idea of ‘curing’ the tubing even more in my kitchen over but caution won out: one end of the roller has a ridged end cap pressed on for the drive belt pulley and this cap appeared to be made from plastic. I would be majorly sad if the oven curing melted or deformed that cap. So that should be it. Hopefully I won’t be writing about attempt number three in the near future.

It worked out great. Had four wires took the heat shrink tube over them then used a heat gun to shrink. Looks great.

Works great for grip on picks

Corresponds to the description

Work as intended I got the clear ones perfect .. the fold doesn't impact the product

Lo que esperaba

Good quality, shrinks fast and evenly and has a glue on the inside to help it bond and stay in place. The only downside is it looks more grey than black.
