Label makers Heat shrink sizes?
So working to get my Terminator setup installed with a Bussman box. Plus install vintage AC and probably some rewiring of the AAW I had installed as it looks to be a bit of mess. Wanting to do it right I am getting all the better stuff as directed by Andrew the Holley EFI guru and was thinking of going with labels so I'm not having to document everything to remember.

Looking at LW-PX300 and LW-PX350. leaning towards the later because of auto cut and can do all sizes of heat shrink where the 300 is limited.
If I get 350 it comes with 1/2 but thats huge for my purposes. So trying to figure out what else I need going from 10 to 22. 1/8 seems like a no brainer but the next size up is a question mark. Seems like 1/4 maybe but does that shrink to 10 gauge?
Not sure if anyone has experience with this or totally open to other systems. Would just order them all but 35 bucks a cartridge it would a bit of investment if I'm not going to use. I was looking at Dynmo but they were getting tore up on reviews pretty bad,.

I ordered the 5200 one day before you started this thread lol. I don't feel to bad though as I got it for $125 shipped with 2 rolls of regular label and 3 rolls of 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 heat shrink.

Another happy Dymo 5200 user here. I would recommend the 1/8 shrink tube for anything 18 Ga or smaller.
