Loom in seconds? Installation Wire loom tool

- Wire loom and split tubing is great for protecting wires in the engine bay or other areas outside the vehicle. The problem is it can be time consuming to install wires into it, and the jagged edge can hurt your fingers. How can we quickly install wires into wire loom? A wire loom tool is the solution!

Another handy tool to have on hand so that you don't cut your hands while you're hand installing wire into a vehicle by hand ヽ(•‿•)ノ Woo!
CarAudioFabrication awesome video today!
Sad, they won't ship to Australia :(
CarAudioFabrication This is getting out of hand.
Clint L maybe someone will lend you a hand and you can work out a solution together. ✌️
hey mark! love your videos man. i bet you could 3d print something like this
Those tools are AWESOME! My thumbs and index fingers ARE RAW...from adding just two accessories on a motorcycle. Thank You Mark! NOW My fingers, manicurist, and WIFE also appreciate! 👋
OMG I love you!!! I've been saying every time I loom a backup camera that there's just gotta be a better way!!! This will save me so much time/money at work!! Not to mention the countless cuts in the fingers.
wow that was quick and easy. thank you for your great tool updates and info. I like your demonstration on the old way of wire looming. i still do that and maybe no longer will i have to worry about that old skool way.
That’s a great tip. You have my sincere gratitude.
That is a genius tool Mark, Thanks for sharing.
Great tool review
Great video as always! Very timely as I need to reloom two cars for FI and CA!!! TY!!!
Wow, first the super simple wire twisting wheel, now this. I really need to start thinking about the tool side of car audio. Cause both of these are such a simple idea. Yet any installer, pro or hobbyist, would be well served by these tools.
Works, Great!!!! What a pain and frustration saver.
These are GENIUS!
I was buying bulk loom on the Grainger website, and passed on the tool at first, but after watching this video I added the tool to my cart. I have a lot of under chassis wiring to do on my pickup adding lights, accesories, etc. With cut resistant gloves on, this should make installation a snap. Great recommendation!
Hey mark, please make a deatiled video on A pillar speaker /tweeter pod. About mounting angle, how to make them. (if a car doesn't have a pillar panel?) Love to see it.
Ok, here you go! czcams.com/video/neDSi4g1CeQ/video.html
Very cool!
That tool will save so much time!!;
Great Video Thank you
What a set of bombass tools. This could have been real handy back in the day. I got to get that set! Count me in! The slickest thing since sliced bread. Excellent!🎸👍🏻
Kool that looks bad ass those loom are pain in the butt to work with. I soon will order some just to have them when ever I might need them n make my life easier. Thanks man keep them up.
Wow.. Seen this in a catalog. Was sceptical. Will be ordering
great Loom Idea! I just purchased from your link!
Thank u really helpful bro 👌
Very nice!
Perfect tool....
So good for the tiny room when running cameras I'm pretty quick with anything bigger than half inch but for that 3/8 stuff that's super fast
I just found about these a day or two ago. Nice!
thanks
This is an awesome product! Unfortunately it's about two days too late LOL 😂😂😂
Been there...A day late and dollar short. 😆 lol
Awesome.
This blew my mind.
just got this exact set, id be forcing wires for hours without these. thank you for the video
That's amazingly fast!
Thank you 🔈🔉🔊
:)
I just ordered a couple of them!👍 Wish I knew about it a few months back! Now I can redo it properly!
What about the spiral loom?
Freaking amazing. Omg so much easier! Thanks!
Nice man!! It’s like magic (;
Nice!!
MAGIC !!!!!!
This is a game changer
I subscribed!
Awsome😊
thanx
U the best
very handy mark
Definitely nice to have on hand!
You should demo it on installed wires on a car with no cuts. (e.g installing a wire loom on your existing wiring, not the other way around). That's where that slit on the tool comes in handy and the real purpose of the tool shines.
Very informative video nonetheless and thank you for the links. Cheers!
yeah this os what i actually care about. show me a guy using while halfway upside down crammed in the back of a trunk trying to fit new larger gauge speaker wire in the facotry bundles
cool!
You should also post this as an Amazon Product review to the product page.
Where was ths item 35 years ago when I was working for a company that made custom vans.....this would have saved me many days of torn open blisters and cut up hands
can you make a video on " Difference between neodymium vs normal speakers" pros and cons of both, i'm not able to find anything till now.
Hola amigo buenos consejos saludos
Gracias mi amigo. Gracias por ver mis videos.
Cool
Where has this black magic been all my life?!? Just ordered it from your link!
Life savers
Much simpler, and cheaper, is to hold the wire to be installed against the split in the wire in the loom and then bend the wire loom away from the wire at about a 60 degree angle. This opens up the split in loom nicely, then simply hold the wire/wire loom and slide it along your index finger allowing the wire to be inserted.
That is what I've been doing, but the issue is that it does not always work, and especially if I've cut my thumb on something else. Invariably, with a cut thumb, I manage to get that cut opened back up by the edge of the loom. I'm older, and it takes much longer to heal now, so a tool is a nice benefit for someone like me.
This guy earns his money.
That seems like a great project to 3d print. Time to get drawing.
These are cheap, literally wouldn't be worth the material / time cost
@@CarAudioFabrication I can't see it taking more than 5 to 10 min to draw up. Print time wouldn't really matter being one can do other thins as its going.
More economical, maybe, but how about when you need a different size one? Scale, print. Now you have unlimited custom sizes.
@Peter Evans Good for you.
Amazzzing we're do it get these tools how much
CAF your jobs are differentiated!
How to calculate rectangular duct?
Cool video. After wire is inside the loom' is there a need to tape the loom every "x" distance?
I used those many years ago,worked great on smaller gauge wire when you got to larger gauge wire 4 or 2 ga it was a pain
I have found it makes things a ton easier, even with larger wires. I even tried 0 gauge and it zipped right in.
Perfect for my work😅
Would this work for a spiral wire loom???
Wow. I'd probably rarely use them but I need them lol
This tool alone makes me want to be a car audio installer ;-)
Can you please go back in time and tell my 18-year-old self about these tools? Please???
So what about wires that are already installed into a vehicle? For example, I usually crimp a terminal on my power wire, push it threw the vehicle grommet and then route and loom it. Could I still do this or would I need to loom the wire prier to running it threw the firewall (kinda like using that "Chinese finger trap" loom)?
+1dickycat because the tool has the opening you can spin around you can loom wires that are already connected on both ends.
CarAudioFabrication That's it then.. I'm buying a set lol. On a side note, Ive been following the production of rockfords DSR1. Being an ex-installer I know this would have made things 10x easier. Are you gonna be doing your own videos on the product? It seems like a game changer in my eyes.
good tool. if you make a small wrap of electrical tape over the wire, then pass the wire through the tool. then make a couple passes around the loom, it'll hold the loom and wire together.
got to 1:59 and i already loom like a boss
😮😮😮 how have I never seen this 😮 🤦♂️
How does it work with 50'?
One thing you didn't mention, and I think I'm right on this..let's say you have a wire already run but not in the loom. It looks like you can drop the wire in even though it's terminated at both ends and join the wire into the loom. You were inserting the wire INTO the tool THEN inserting the tool and wire into the loom. My situation (fiber optic cable..unprotected) requires the wire (FO) be left in place. There are signals on it but it needs to be protected or groups joined. It looks like this tool will do that. Is that your opinion too?
Yes wire can be terminated at both ends
I saw something like this at a thrift shop one time, but it was only one size and they wanted more than it was worth. It was made for a different market, but I don't specifically remember what it was for.
Who would have thought it was this simple all along.
I use fishing tape from Harbor Freight Tools. Push it all the way through, tape the wire to the end and pull it back through. But this might be faster.
DUDE!!!!!
Be super nice on how to wire a amp to your door speakers.
The wiring that goes into a car is called the 'wiring loom'. That black piping you're talking about is called 'trunking' or 'shroud'.
Its called loom. Its literally sold as loom.
@@CarAudioFabrication Must be one of those British/American terminology differences lol. np :)
Damit why didn't you show me sooner my fingers would have really appreciated this
you know you can just use a wrench? those are prob more handy if the loom is already on the car, or the wire is already attached, but you can use line wrenches or box wrenches, works very well.
Fuck.... Well that's a lot easier. Definitely buying this for my next job
What's up bro
Yoooooooooo
Черт. Реально удобная штука.
Id call it split conduct
Oh man I usually run the loom after it's installed
Old video, but damn, this would have saved me so many cut thumbs, from running 20+ feet of wire in looms.
I see that you're maturing there Mark. I know it took a lot of restraint not to make any sexual innuendos.
Aaaaawwwww!😔I think one just slipped out at the end. You were so close...so close.
(cough cough) That's what she said.
And...it's ribbed for her pleasure! Seriously though, that's pretty cool.
Great tool, but I hate that plastic loom!!!
High temperature Plex loom . Works better
You never got back to me
Shut up and take my money. I wish I knew about these tools a few years ago.
It's cool but it's not a tool would buy unless I do that for a living ,items like this she be sold when u buy loom
I can see the need if you were a professional.
Real men dont use tools like that.
I assure you, real men don't belittle people over something as abysmal as the use of a tool.
