When purchasing electrical components online, where one can't visually look at what they're actually buying, it's easy for many sellers to overrate the product. Too many times the innocent buyer doesn't realize the product they are buying has a great potential to cause a fire if it isn't made to do the job it was purchased to do. Working with solar power has taught me the importance of using terminals that are made to allow the uninterrupted flow of electricity by using proper connections. Many
Pros
Received on time and in good condition, Thanks.
Cons
The lugs may require a specialized crimping tool, which can be an added expense
I had to really work to get these to clamp down since there was no split along the neck. However, once i did muscle it closed, it does feel very secure on the wire. I used it on 4AWG marine cable for a boat battery setup, and I feel confident that the cable is not going to slip out of the ring connector. Would have felt a little better about a bit thicker insulation on the shrinkwrap, but it would be too far to say that it was bad at all.
Pros
Title says it all will buy again
Cons
As stated, doesn’t fit 8 gauge wire. Good product otherwise
These are nice heavy duty lugs. Running some serious gear? The these are your lugs. And with the additional heat shrink added you get protection and a cleaner install.
Pros
Buy the solder slugs to go along with these and you'll do a professional job.
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for use with certain types of home appliances
It's a good product but when I received it, it was already tarnishing. I'll have to polish them when I open it up. The lugs may not be suitable for use with certain types of automotive electrical systems.
Pros
quick
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for use with certain types of automotive electrical systems
Rated them 4 because I haven't had time to properly evaluate them. seems to be quite stout. Haven't been installed long enough to measure durability.had to find a crimping tool to attach these things to the cables.
Pros
These are of good quality
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for use with certain types of sensors or instruments
I am somewhat disappointed in the quality of the InstallGear 10 Gauge AWG Tinned Pure Copper Lugs Ring Terminals Connectors with Heat Shrink that I received. They appear to be of lesser quality than other 10 gauge copper lugs that I have been using in my solar system. The weight of each lug is noticeably less than the weight of other lugs, which causes me to be concerned about the overall quality and durability.
Pros
Muy buena calidad
Cons
The heat shrink may not be suitable for use with certain types of wire insulation
Purchased 4AWG 7/16 ring terminals seem a bit larger than true 4AWG maybe a 1/16 too big.
Not a huge deal considering I will be crimping and soldering for a good reliable long term solution. Overall A+
Pros
Soldered well to six gauge wire
Cons
The heat shrink may melt if exposed to extremely high temperatures
Like some reviewers this is not a 10gauge lug.Inside barrel dia. measures .165 to .171in. not .125(1/8")in. 10gauge stranded wire is .116in. dia. 8gauge is .146in.dia.according to online gauge chart.The eye thickness is thin .035in.as compared to a standard auto store yellow #12-#10 eye connector which measured at .045in. thickness.Another seller on Revain has there 10gauge lug charted at 1.3mm which .051in.thickness with some mixed reviews.The pictures for this product are deceptive and…
Pros
Solid product
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for use with certain types of electrical equipment
Lugs seems good quality, however they are not what I ordered. I ordered 4 AWG and received 1/0 size. They were labeled 4 AWG, but there is a second label underneath that has the correct size (1/0). These will be returned as I have no use for this size lug
Pros
Exactly what i need, I'm definitely buying more. I highly recommend
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for use with certain types of lighting systems
Great quality connectors. I use a vice to clamp them onto the wiring and they are very sturdy. Nice, thick red and black heat shrink is a great addition, making these a great product and excellent value.
Pros
They did their job well im running a 2000 watt amp with no problems
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for use with certain types of security systems
The shrink sleeves are so large that they barely shrink down to the diameter of the fitting which means your wire must be larger then 4 gauge to get a good fit. So they will work down to 4 gauge wire but sleeve size is way overkill on size.
Pros
As advertised. Good product
Cons
The heat shrink may not provide enough insulation in extremely cold environments
These lugs are ment for 2 gauge wire.
When I crimped on proper settings the 4 gauge wire could easily slide out. Triple checked my settings and everything was correct I decided to lower the crimp size to 6 gauge and it seemed to be good enough.
Pros
Lugs are a lil hard to crimpOverall they are good
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for outdoor or marine applications
I need 10awg to 5/16 &/or 3/8 (both from this multipack). (I couldn't find what I needed.) They say 1/4 and that's what they are. If you try to drill them larger they get ruined. The product is good and as described, and at a great value, but not what I needed. ((Better than the $40 wasted at NAPA.))
Pros
Awesome product!
Cons
The heat shrink may not provide enough strain relief, which can lead to wire fatigue and failure
I have had difficulty crimping this with a hand tool, relative to other lugs of about the same size.
I have also noticed more residue on the interior compared to similar products, and would recommend cleaning the inside with a Qtip and alcohol before use. No major complaints though.
Pros
Always a great brand to go with
Cons
The heat shrink may crack or split if not properly applied
These terminals are of good quality.
The heat shrink bits are nice as well. I honestly don't know how much these should cost but they didn't seem overly expensive and they worked very well.
Pros
Fits sky high ofc 4 guage wire perfectly
Cons
The heat shrink may not be completely opaque, making it difficult to see if the connection is secure
Great lugs for the price. Shrink wrap is a bit thin and a bit large but works great. Lugs are tough so you will need a good crimping tool. No doubt those wires will hold.
Pros
Good reliable product
Cons
The lugs may not be suitable for use with high-ampere circuits
Great lugs! Had to order them twice. Post office decided they wanted the first set and kept them for themselves! I can see why- these cable lugs are exactly what was needed!
Pros
it does the job
Cons
The heat shrink may be prone to tearing or puncturing during installation
