Another couple factors to consider to prevent the nototrious heatshrink split:

1. Buy good heatshrink. The ES200 line from Tyco (http://www.strancoproducts.com/downl...ta%20Sheet.pdf) has an amazing 4:1 shrink ratio and is pretty rock solid

2. When cutting the HS from a longer length, make sure the cut is straight and contiguous. Any aberration along the cut will likely cause a tear. This commonly happens when cutting a larger diameter HS with a pair of side cutters, where you can't cut across the width with one full cut. We typically use a pair of stout scissors or, odd as it sounds, a heavy duty paper cutter (good for getting precise lengths).
