AutoZone is clearing out Posi-Locks

[crazykz]

I use Posi-Locks to do quick AND reliable wiring. Used one yesterday to tap switched 12V.

WebBikeWorlds Posi-Lock Review (http://www.webbikeworld.com/Reviewed-motorcycle-products/posi-lock/)

AutoZone has them in the clearance bin for $1-$3 a box. I bought 6 boxes so I'll have enough for years to come.

I'll save you a pack. It looks like they have come down in price since the last time I priced them. Doesn't matter. $3 is still a good deal.

Posi-locks ROCK!!!

[tricky_micky]

Never seen them before!

Just followed the above link and those locks are very good, not seen them here in the UK.

I will find out more and see if they will ship to the UK.

Did anyone find them at AutoZone's web site? I did a search, but came up empty handed.

I bought a posi lock blade / inline fuse holder for my horn install when I get to it. It looks like some quality stuff!!! And reusable too!!!

Dang,

Local Auto-Zones are out of them........ Figures...

I checked all 10 stores. Only 1 had some. They had 2 packs of the small ones so now I have about $70 worth of them for about $20. Suckers.

Yippee!!! BTW Checker AutoParts is now carrying them in their new packaging.

Hey Curt,

If you want, you can store some of those in my filing cabinet! :D

If you need some all you have to do is ask. I have plenty of the blue (medium, 12-18 gauge) ones if you need some.

Thanks for the offer Curt. It will probably be awhile before I do any kind of electrical work on my bike. I think I'll start making out a wish list for all of the electrical farkles that I want to add first. Hopefully I'll be able to then get in and get all (or most) of the wiring done at one time.

What did you use before you had the Posi-Locks? Have you ever used crimp type connectors before?

I do use crimp terminals but I buy better ones and not those crap ones you see in every hardware store in town. I takes a while to make sure you do them right so they don't come apart. I never use crimp type butt splices. That's why the posilocks are so great. I also use them as a tap even though they have a tap it's kind of big so I just jam two wires in one end and one in the other. Works just as well if you do it right.

[IntruderCruiser]

our local Auto Zone is not closing them out -- it is a big seller for them

[crazykz]

I saw today that Walmart is now carrying all of the posilock products in the automotive section for about $6.00 a box. They have Tap-It's, Lock-It's, Seal It-'s, Fuse-It's, and Twist-It's.

Very cool.

Looking for advice on the Posi Lock (http://www.posi-lock.com/index.html).



1) Which Posi Lock connector do you recommend: the Posi Lock or the Posi Tite? WW is selling both.

2) There is no cover on the Posi Lock fuse holder (unlike other blade fuse holders I've seen). Is it a non issue? Pictures of fuse blocks on the board seem to show exposed fuses, so an enclosure may not be necessary?

[ligito]

I buy mine direct from Posi.

Good products.

I use crimp connectors but I solder and shrink wrap them.:04biker:

Sorry MidLife, I didn't see this before. Posi-Lock I think is fine for most stuff. Posi-tite I think is more for something that is going to be more exposed to the water and stuff that carries a little more current. You could put some dielectric grease in the posi-lock is you think the elements might cause from corrosion or put some RTV on the end of the cap around the wire but NOT in the posilock itself.

Fuse covers are nice but not necessarily needed IMO. But it does depend on where it is and again some dielectric grease on the tabs and sockets isn't a bad idea. I would have done that if I could find one of the 50 tubes of that crap I have laying around here. :mad: I wouldn't call it a non-issue but for probably 80-90% of the applications I would say it is. Hell wrap some electrical tape around it if it makes you feel better. The convienance of those things is too good to pass up but if you want a covered fuse holder just buy one and use a couple posilocks to fasten it into your wire.

Curt,

Wrapping some electrical tape around it down here on the Gulf Coast is worse than letting it remain open to the elements.

Moisture gets into everything in this humidity and you want a way to prevent that, not hold it in.

Dielectric grease everything if you live near water.

[MidLife]

Thx for the advice, Curt and Gordon.

[crazykz]

Good point Gordon. I forgot about that. I lived in Norfolk for 4 years and watched every bolt fuse to the car with all that salt water in the air. Ugh.
