Default using crimp-on electrical connectors


"rb" wrote in message
...
Doing wiring around the house with small (20-16ga) wires on the cars,
mowers, etc, I would like to use the crimp-on connectors.

When I squeeze them hard with pliers, the wires still have a tendency to
slip out.

Is there a better way to do install those crimp-ons than using pliers?


Use the kind of pliers that are designed for crimping. Something like the
Sta-kon WT111M . Also use the correct size connectors and stranded wires.
They will not hold very well on soild wire.
