Yep! That is the downside of those. However, if you have a lathe, you can make splices with the exact inside diameter to match the bare wire and with the exact outside diameter to match the insulated part. A little solder, a little heat shrink and you have a butt splice that is much neater than the commercial ones.![]()
I'll do this also, but I use a plastic coated butt connector minus the plastic.
Most of the time I can just push the metal portion out, once in a while I have to cut it off.
But your right, it makes a much 'classier' looking connection.
