💡 Hilitchi Insulated Disconnects Electrical Assortment: Secure and Efficient Power Management solution Review

The clear plastic case is VERY VERY bent and won't close - arrived sealed with some sort of tape. Waste. The terminals themselves are made of very thin metal and do not inspire confidence. The red and blue connectors have a huge square hole in the center to fit the tabs in the red and blue shells.

Crimping: You need a special tool to crimp the red and blue connectors (for AWG 20-14). It's called the Flag Connector Crimp Tool. I bought one from Revain (Baomain Ratchet Crimper Plier HS-07FL) and it works great. Alternatively, you can grind down the nose of an old, cheap, insulated connector with a crimping tool so the lug doesn't get damaged when you crimp the barrel. However, the yellow connector (for AWG 12-10) does not require any special tool to crimp the flag connector. Its shank…

For some reason I get bad crimps when using yellow 12-10 ga connectors with 12 ga wire. The crimped part of the terminal just unrolls and flattens out instead of staying wrapped around the wire as I believe; and therefore has very little retention (photos 2-3). I was able to easily pull the wire out after crimping, which shouldn't be possible (Photo 2). This happened…
