Summary

00:00 - Craig has asked, when your crimp goes wrong and you can't cut it off due to not enough length of wire, how do you remove the failed crimp? That is a dilly of a pickle.
00:09 You're in a bit of a nasty situation there as you're not going to be able to get that crimp off without removing those copper conductor strands.
00:16 Even if you can, I don't think that you would really want to crimp another pin onto those copper conductor strands, I don't think you'd have the sureness that it's going to be reliable in the future.
00:29 In that situation, your best option is probably going to be to cut that wire off, it's going to be too short, you're going to have to crimp a small section of extra wire onto that so this is very very similar to what we've just done with our splice connector here using a brass open barrel splice.
00:48 You can get them in a really small size.
00:50 Pretty common sizing would be from say 700 to 1400 CMA and if you crimp that down with a nice fine crimping die tool, it's actually going to end up being no bigger than the outside of the insulation of that wire, however you are going to need to insulate that with some dual wall adhesive so you will end up with a wee bit of a bump in that section but you'll be able to get that extra length you need to make sure everything is going to be nice and reliable.
01:18 Sometimes in a situation like that, there just isn't a way to complete the job without it looking like that slight malfunction ever happened but you do, instead of doing for that perfect visual result there, you really want to go for that perfectly reliable result.
