- One thing I'm bad at is soldering wires. So in this video I give it a shot to fix my wife's backup camera on her Jeep JK. I also have a Super Clean give away that you can enter by simply entering any comment below!

You solder just fine. I've been doing it for 30+ years, the only thing that looks sorta wrong is you're moving the solder in too fast. Let the wires heat up a touch more, it'll flow out better. Still though, any job that works when you're done is good enough. Not like anyone is going to see that! Thanks for the content.
The only other thing Casey can do to make his life a little easier is to twist the wires together individually before twisting the pair together…according to the experts you are supposed to individual solder each wire first…for vehicles with fine wire I never found that worked very well. If you are using this vehicle in an area that uses road salt I highly recommend never seize (copper based for wire) direct onto to soldered area of joint plus a dab of silicone in each end of heat trace before shrinking…keeps your joints lasting for years…
Enjoy your Chanel. I get to see country I would not get to see other wise
We love your show, but it's causing my husband to buy all sorts of things....like a Badlands winch. Lol. Your videos are a wonderful way to pass the time during a dreary winter and dream of all the things we will do in the spring! We already use Super clean a lot and we love it. Since they were so kind to let you do a giveaway , I think we will use it a whole lot more. Thanks for all you do Casey. You're a hero.
Glad folks like Super Clean are starting to recognize your work more and more! Glad to be here with you!
Good to have camera back working. Happy wife, happy life !
A year late and a bottle of Super Clean short. Story of my life, LOL. Still a great video and, your soldering is not that bad. It's like the folks down below said, any job that works when you're done is a good job. Thanks for another great video. Your personality is very entertaining and I love your IDGAF mentality toward the product sponsors.
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple months, Love them! Totally loved that your daughter picked the winner!
We know how hard it is to make content when recovery work is slow and you do a good job making it interesting.
I have been soldering most my life (and I am old). I have certainly seen much worse than what you did. Things that I think would help would be a soldering iron with a little more power and a wedge tip capable of transferring the heat faster. Slow transfer of heat leads to excessive heating of the insulation and more time for the solder to oxidize. Also use a sponge or wet rag to clean the soldering iron tip just before starting to solder each joint and re-tin with fresh solder. I would have staggered the joints to minimize the lump that occurs with all the splices side by side. Amazon sells some economical kits of shrink tubing in multiple sizes and colors that are excellent for this type of repair. I am sure that you would have a lot of comments on my attempts to weld.
December 2022, other side of the world, yet still applauding the bringing back to life of the back-up camera.
And as always: thanks for some good laughs.
I would much rather clean my engine with Super Clean than soldier wires!! Thanks for another enjoyable video.
I do not live in the US and i dont want the cleaner, just here to say thank you for making the videos the way you do.
I also suck at soldering but i still do it when i need to, and i never had a solder joint fail on me. It doesnt have to look good to work good, which is the complete opposite to welding.
Welding doesn't have to look good to work I've seen some ugly welds on farm repairs that held up for years I bought a car trailer and lost a fender in less than 3000 miles because the pretty welds had no penetration
Casey - your channel is becoming a success because of your 'git-r-done' attitude, which resonates with your viewers, who then share their experiences, making us all better, keep it going!
Looks to me you have conquered the soldering monster. Your work looks very professional. I enjoy your videos.
Solder is a learning curve! Super clean to the Rescue!
I know I'm late to the game, but I just wanted to tell you, I absolutely love the way you did that give away!!! Not everyone has a price after all, so thank you!!
Love the show. I wish more contractors and business owners are like you!
Biggest tip. Heat the work, then feed solder.
I watch your videos all the time I think you know a lot about different things that's why I watch them all the time
So cool to invite us the viewers into the give away, thank you.
Keep up the good videos, no matter what you are doing!
Love your attitude towards advertising
Love your Honesty, If a product is good you or Bad you tell it like it is, unscripted.
The soldering job was perfect, everything worked when you were done.
Now the welding shots showed the best beads I have ever seen. My father, brother, grandfather , cousin, and uncle were all iron workers and certified welders. I know great welding when I see it, and your welds were great.
You will get better with soldering once you do more.
You make me laugh so much. We are alike in so many ways. I'm a mechanic/welder for a food processing plant and can weld, repair, or rewire almost anything including an entire house. But when it comes to soldering... just forget it. Also electronics (like your gate issue) will throw me for a loop as well. Love all the videos, keep up the great work.
Love your attitude when working with companies! And I love how open you are about that. I don't live in US, so I can't join the giveaway unfortunately.
I along with all of your other subscribers appreciate the fact of how real you are, you show the good, the bad & the ugly but I'm glad God has blessed you in your life regardless of what comes your way!...Take care!
I appreciate what you do for people who are stranded. Like your channel. Keep up the good work! Roger
Not the greatest … certainly not the worst wiring job that I have seen!!! Really enjoying your content and your life philosophies. Take care, happy thanksgiving!!
Casey is the off road recovery man. Keep up with the awesome content.
I enjoy your videos and especially the side trips when You are done with a mission. I used to be in search and rescue for years.
Soldering isn’t easy as you well know. Honestly I’ve found it “easier” if you use soldering grease first then use a flux core wire and mini torch instead of the soldering gun.
Love all the videos. Always entertaining and/or informative.
Hole in the Ground 11/10/2021 Nice! Glad we didn't need you but we still enjoy your videos. Looking forward to SNOW.
this is why I like your channel Casey! You are a down to earth no BS kinda guy. I live in Portland and my Jeep could use some Super Clean!
Giving back no matter how small is still amazing. Good on ya bud.
Super Clean job on the soldiering! Looking forward to seeing the Jeep in action with those tracks.
Have nice day & be safe.
I see what you did there 😉 “super clean” clean job on the soldering 😂
Thanks for giving us regular viewers a chance
Glad I'm not the only one who struggles with soldering
Casey, take a small chunk (6") of 12 gauge copper house wiring and take a small alligator clip and solder/crimp it to the each end of the 12 gauge wire. Now you can bend it to whatever shape that you want. It is light enough that it won't pull everything down, and it holds the 2 wires that you want to solder just fine. You can also use it by anchoring it to something using the free end to support whatever. It will withstand being bent many times, and if it finally does break, just make another one.
Another little tip, when using electrical tape to wrap around wires where you have very limited room and a roll of tape just won't fit, take a flat screwdriver and stick the end of the electrical tape to it, then wrap it backwards (sticky side out) around and around the screwdriver blade. You need to have clean hands to use it, but you can use it in very tight places. I will make 4 or 5 at a time and keep them in the little plastic container that the tape comes in.
Every connection in the wiring of my T Bucket is soldered and heat shrunk. The only ones that are not soldered are the wires to my gauge lights.
Also I have a full set of non insulated crimp connectors. The wires will solder to them quite nicely. The parts house will most likely need to order them in, because most people would not use them. They are just like the butt connectors, they just have no insulation on them. Being a mechanic for 45 years, I HATE crimp connectors. They get corroded, or pull out, or don't make a good connection with the conductor. When I worked for the DOT (13 years) everyone always wanted me to repair their wiring just because the wiring would not fail again. At least in that area. LOL It will take twice as long to do it right, but once it is done, it is done forever.
Super clean for the win. Nice job on your wife's jeep. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the opportunity!
we love the videos. Fix it vids and recoveries are great . We would also like to see more of neighbor grumpy and the exploring videos if he is willing. Thanks for entertaining us.
Keep up the good work on the videos Casey, always look forward to them.
I thought you did a fine job soldering after all you fixed the problem and worked on fine. Great job Casey. Thanks for the sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
I love your videos! I am just seeing this for the first time. I think it’s great that you don’t accept stuff for companies who want to tell you what they want you to do and say! I did see the video where you used Supper clean to clean your engine, i was so impressed I made my husband and Son (who likes to work on cars) watch it. They already knew about Supper Clean and said it’s great stuff! I am looking forward to seeing many more of your great videos!!
Good job fixing the broken wires. All the birds in the background sounds so relaxing. Makes me wanna sit by a campfire and relax.
For me, it is sweating copper and brass plumbing, thank goodness you can get compression fittings now to forego any soldiering.
LOL me too
Hey Casey I found your channel basically the day Matt's off-road sent you his yellow toll road and you've been one of my top viewing channels ever since! I told big trucks in Idaho Falls for a wrecking yard there, I'm always interested and channels like yours. Plus I love the off-road side of things as well.
I really should look at these things before I send them when I talk to text, shouldn't i? Pretty sure you got the gist of what I was saying!
Also, consider using a smaller diameter rosin core solder. I'd consider staggering connections. A hair blower will shrink the heat shrink.
Your honesty is refreshing. Keep up the good work.
Love your vids & how down to earth you are, keep doing what your doing!
Keep up the great videos! Your channel popped up a couple months ago and I've been watching since!
Great real people content. Super educational.
i watch every episode i can and love watching
Nice work Casey. Thank you for another great video. Stay safe and have a great week.
Not a curse word spoken during Soderling, thanks for the good show!
Actually I did say "son of a bitch" at one point
I always say any job that works is done right so you are great at soldering.
The way I learned in trade school was to hold the iron on one end of the bare wires, and hold the solder at the other end. The wires will get hot enough to draw the solder towards the gun, and penetrate the wires the best. Works for me.
Nice fix! Even with rosin core, a little paste flux helps immensely. Also power probe makes a nice torch for shrink wrap
One tip for the heat shrink, hold the lighter so the flame is about 1/2" to 3/4" below the tube and it shrinks better without getting burnt or covered in soot. Oh, and add a magnet to the base of your helping hand tool!
I love all of your videos - you are a straight up guy~ good luck and Happy New Year!
Casey, doesn’t really matter what it looks like it’s not like welding it’s the end result that matters. Great content keep it up
Good job Casey. I love watching him fumble through these videos. Always good content
I have tried soldering wires with no luck! The only time I had luck with solder was when I used to build Stained Glass panels! You did good on your soldering!
Thanks for sharing your content with us man, it’s nice to see normal folks that do the same stuff we do daily!! Keep it coming!
Love your videos and your ethic. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy watching.
I live in Bend and we really enjoy your channel.
Thanks for sharing your struggles and keeping it real.
Thanks for the channel. Love the information you put out there.
Happy Wife, happy life!
Keep making more videos, they're fun to watch!
Love all of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Looked like a nice clean job to me, but what do I know...LOL. This video dropped on my birthday. Did not know your channel existed then so I am just watching this now. Love your channel.
Love your channel and love the way you handle companies like this. Nothing but respect for you! Thank you very much for all that you do and for taking us along for the ride.
Well I’m in Waddell, AZ and I’d really appreciate a bottle of Super Clean. Good job on the videos!
Good job from someone who soldered for 50+ years before retirement. What you did in this video was quite acceptable, even using the lighter on the heat shrink.
One suggestion: apply some additional flux before soldering. Liquid, gel, or paste are equally good, and it doesn't take much. It will help the solder flow down into the strands and will greatly reduce the time that heat must be applied. Too little flux is the usual reason for "points", the bumps and peaks left behind when the iron is removed.
Hi Riley, it is very nice to see you helping your dad. Super clean is awesome stuff.
The best advice I can give on soldering is apply the heat to the joint and keep it applied while flowing solder on the joint. It appeared your tendency is to apply and remove heat, using the iron to melt solder. Try it on a scrap wire, see if you like it better. As for holding the wire joint still, get a 6" piece of bare solid copper wire. Bend it in a "U" and crimp on an alligator clip on each end. Very light weight and holds joint still. I've been bending wrenches for a living 60 years. Like your work. Thanks.
I was trained by Honeywell making aircraft avionics. Our primary tool was an expensive soldering station. A cheap soldering iron makes heat transfer frustrating.
We really enjoy your channel! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for including your daughter in your videos.
I have 4 kids and love it when they want to work with me.
Big a huge fan since day one. I've also followed you on towtalk. I really like how detailed your work is. It's help me out in several ways in the towing industry
I went to the excelsior springs Missouri job corps for welding and I didn't even get pass gas welding. I think that you did a better job than I could have done. Now after I changed my course of study to h.b.i.(home builders Institute) I learned to solder copper pipes together from water lines.I haven't been able to afford to help support the channel yet but I hope to someday. Would love to enter your contest.
I love your videos and how candid you are! Great soldering job with the Lighter Shrink Wrap technique! 😉👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Glad I found your channel a few months ago. I used to work in the auto parts industry and loved all of supercleans products.
Awesome video's, as long as it works it works. Two rules to remember, dont sweat the small stuff and two there is no big stuff.
I like your style Casey. Thanks for being you.
I have been watching your for about a year now and of things I like the most is your honesty. I use supper clean and love there product but I have plenty on hand. Give to some one else but I don’t have a hat or shirt yet. Keep up the great videos. Ray from Oregon
I very much appreciate and enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
great job on the wiring . always keep the wife happy.
Really enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the good work.
I enjoy your channel and watch it all the time.
Good job on the soldering---I struggle with that task sometimes too. I like seeing and hearing about all the International trucks. Keep your videos coming, I enjoy them all.
Another great video Casey, keep the videos coming!
I think it is pretty cool how you slip the cleaner in at the end
Love the vids and how you stay true to yourself.
man I love watching your videos. Cant wait to see more recovery videos. keep up the good work man. I cant solder worth a crap either and that's how I would do the shrink wrap with a lighter. Again keep up the good work Casey
Small wires are always a pain to someone used to working on larger ones. Looks good to me.
Love the videos. You get it done and don't act for the camera. Keep up the amazing work!
enjoying these videos in the shop while i am working God Bless you and your family much love from Vermont
have a awesome day and stay safe and stay awesome. thanks for the videos they are fun to watch and very informational.
Thanks Casey for your channel, you are so true. Thumbs up to Super Clean for being a cool company!!
