3/8" Heat Shrink End Cap - Black (1 Piece) - Waterproof Wire Connector for Electrical, Marine & Automotive Applications

I bought the 1/2 inch size to install on 3/8 inch galvanized wire rope. These went on easily, shrank nicely, and give a nice appearance. They also prevent the strands from fraying out, and protect your gloves, and you from scratches and punctures that wire rope ends can often do so well.Used these to seal the end of some steal tubes I used for a roof rack. Was a bit nervous about the tubes being rectangular and these caps being round, but they shrank down good with a heat gun and formed a nice seal.Great protect.These work great for rope as well as cable, wire, and other terminal ends you want to weatherproof and protect. The adhesive works great to lock in place all of the strands to keep it from unraveling permanently.This little cap is exactly what I needed to end a cut I made to a set of string lights. Works as expected and capped and waterproofed the end.Used them to shrink the end of a 1 1/2" rope. Works perfectDoes require a heat gun.Worked fine for what I needed. I shortened several 1 1/2 inch manila climbing ropes and wanted these to cover the cut end to prevent the end from fraying. I did learn to heat from the cap end first instead of the open end otherwise as the open end shrinks it effectively pushes the cap off the end of the rope. They've been mounted for about one month now and receive frequent use and are holding up well.Did the job. Hot glue makes the termination watertight. They work well.
