Pros
  • Bag of 100
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Pros
  • Nylon Insulated
Cons
  • Old

Pros
  • Nylon insulation
Cons
  • So-so

socket and plastic housing so I see no need to buy more expensive ones. I haven't tested the connection with a tester yet, but the connection looks solid. It's possible to fill the cavity with silicone grease, which could probably weatherproof it, like those button-type wire connectors. Squeezing with needle nose pliers requires some force.
