Hey guys
I was doing a batch of battery snaps like I do once in a while. Dropped the iPhone on the desk and made a 2 minute video. Please not that the same principle can probably be applied to pretty much any wires, including batches of 3 or four wires, but I haven't tried that.

Thats a cool trick!

Ha, that's awesome!! :) I connected some battery snaps to an adapterplug, to have an on-the-go adapter for quickly testing pedals. That's another tip!
Cool tip Jacob! Does such a neat job twisting it as opposed to by hand. Thanks for sharing!
Paul
hm could you do that for pots too?
this is cool!
I've been contemplating how I could add some strain relief to my battery snaps. I've seen pedals that have extra holes they run the battery snap wire through to act as a kind of strain relief for the solder joints.
anyone got any tips or ideas on that?
Well I can share what I do.
I use a zip tie mount inside the enclosure, along with a zip tie. You can find what I mean by zip tie mount here: http://www.amazon.com/Zip-Tie-Mount-25-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE (http://www.amazon.com/Zip-Tie-Mount-25-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE)
Here's what it looks like.

That's the same way I do heater wires in an amp! Awesome!
thanks! now that's an immaculate pedal- i think i'm gonna start doing 125's so I can do top mounts hardware and neater guts
I actually have bought spools of 3 wires twisted for pots and I bet thats how its done only on a larger scale. you could make a rach to hold 3 spools and twist up an assload of pot leads and cut the to 4/5 inch sections and stick em in a drawer for later use. I'm playing with my drill today. weeeeeeeeeee!
