I mainly work with 10 - 22 gauge wire.

I have been using the blade type connectors, but they are a bit klunky to attach.

Is there anything better that I can solder my wires to?

Thanks,

Thanks.

Took a while weeding thru some posters with anger problems.

There are other competitive connector systems but it is usually best
to pick one and use it for most of your projects because you will end
up with a collection of common connectors and tools. Crimps really do
seem superior with these types of connections but you need a real
crimper.


I have a real crimper but the connectors do not compare to soldering.

Just today I had a wire pull out of a connection that used a blade connector.

Something was not right. You either did not have the right terminal
for the wire size or it was not properly crimped. (Tool or procedure).
Normally a properly made crimp will hold until the wire breaks.
