On the advice some of members awhile ago I bought some Mogami 2893 wire to build some interconnects. I wanted some nice wire that was flexible and it certainly seems to be great wire and very flexible however I was surprised how small the 26 AWG wires are.
So...
1. I will need new strippers, I was looking at these Ideal T Strippers.

2. I planned on making some 1/8 mini jack to RCA cables and at least one RCA Y cable which would mean soldering one cable to two. Since this wire is such a thin gage I'm a bit worried about its fragility. What is the best way to strengthen cable at the joint where the two cables go one? Anything better than simple heatshrink tubing?
