Further to post #659.
Use a syringe to make a tool for cutting equal length pieces of heat shrink or wire.
You can usually get syringes in 1, 1.5, 3, 5, 10 and 20 ml sizes.
A 1.5 ml syringe can be used for different sized heat shrink from 1/16” to 3/16” in diameter.
A 3 ml syringe is good for 1/4” to 5/8”.
I use the 1.5 and 3 ml sizes for 90% of projects.
Cut off the hub end of your syringe with a razor saw or utility knife; a flame will get rid of burrs.
Move the plunger to the cut off end.
The barrel flange makes a nice flat surface to rest your nippy cutters on.
