Just great (but you only get two)

product does what it is supposed to. Remember that you only get two connectors. Not like the 10 gauge butt connectors that you buy at a retail store and get a bundle.

Pros
  • Lighting and power
Cons
  • Something different

Only two for over $7

I only got two connectors for over $7. Didn't realize the order was for two so it was my fault. I would never have ordered them if I had known that. In any case, the metal plug was so hard that I could hardly squeeze it. Luckily the neighbor had bigger crimping pliers, so it finally worked. I would not order them again and would advise you to look at other #8 connectors.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • Reliability

Probably will fit most cables but not the car subwoofer power cable

I bought these to connect the two ends of a subwoofer amplifier power cable. Obviously the strand of this wire is wider than the metal strand of these connectors. I wasn't able to put them on and stretch all the strands inward even when I twisted or precrimped the strands. The wire I have is marked 8 gauge, but it's clear I need to use 6 gauge or 4 gauge connectors on it.

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • No breaker
