The insulation is definitely thinner than some other brands but the conductor itself most certainly is not thinner. It’s the same total size in diameter as Dash 13ga, but you can clearly see how much of the Dash wire is silicone insulation whereas the Tekin wire is actually full of conductor. It’s a quality wire and it has a permanent home in two of my cars.
It is more like 14 gauge, scared to use it on my mod motor. I have Chinese wire that is 12 gauge and is thicker, protek wire that is thicker. I would be scared to run this wire on a stock motor. Clearly it is much smaller than standard 12 gauge wire, so don't waste your time buying it unless you think thinner is better
Easily the highest quality wire I have ever used. I purchased so my drift cars could have matching color wire to the upgrade pieces I have installed. After using Tekin wire I would never use any other brand, I know hes getting it from somewhere and branding it but I know I can trust them to get me this quality every time. Soldered so much better then the cheap wire we get everywhere else.
Reviewers are divided on this 12awg silicone power wire. Two reviewers rate it highly, praising its conductor content, solder performance and quality, and one says they keep using it in cars. One verified owner rates it 1/5, arguing the wire measures closer to 14 gauge and is much thinner than standard 12 gauge wire from other brands, leading them to doubt it for motors. The reviews do not give measurements, so the sizing dispute is unresolved. Review variant is the 3' pink listing.
