Review on 480 Pcs TICONN Self-Stripping Quick Splice Electrical Wire Terminals Insulated Male Quick Disconnect Spade Connectors Assortment Kit With Storage Case by Rodrigo Harrison

For starters, I typically use these to mock up projects before soldering. If you are doing a remote car starter install for example, these are handy to confirm everything is functioning correctly before making reliable solder connections.Pro's:The metal section of the taps connects to wires very wellCon's:The taps themselves can require a bit of effort to close, sometimes they will deformbefore actually piercing the wire casing. This a quality consistency issue, as I tested several of these on one strand of wire, it was a 60/40 success rate.The spades like to pivot when crimped. I've tried several different types of crimpers. including hydraulic crimpers with the correct dies. If you are not paying attention, the spade will push to the side and not plug in to the tap.My biggest complaint. the insulation on the spade prevents the spade from fully inserting into the taps. Much force is needed to achieve the correct connection. Even then, I find on some occasions that they will easily come unplugged. I've had to briefly heat the insulation to have the spades correctly seat. Without doing this, I have found they will easily back out, especially in automotive applications.At this price point, they are not terrible for the average DIY'r however, if you are a "pro in a hurry" you will likely find these particular ones annoying and time consuming.
