Does anyone have thoughts on these kinds of crimp connectors requiring just a set of pliers? I typically solder my connections and then heat-tube wrap them, but damn this is easy. Such as this:
We used to solder all connections but where we are there is no moisture problem so we use dry B-connectors inside, and gel filled outside at the SNI. B-connectors are also called Beanies.
The ones you are showing are a pain to work with IMO...can't get them in tight places like beanies...and the jelly is annoying for inside work.
Ever try stuffing one of those up a 3/8 recessed contact hole...sheeayah.

I switched to 3/8 stubbies with screw terminals, cost a little more but the time saved, anxiety and hand cramps was well worth it.

My buddy has one of those...they are cool. I still like beanies better, at least you can open them without cutting the wires or stick my meter probes in the ends to trbl shoot a loop.

These and other combinations they make work well. Rated for solid conductor wire. Don't use regular pliars or needlenose pliars to clamp. Use the tool they sell that brings the jaw down flat and parallel. You can use a small waterpipe style pliars that will hold the inset straight on compression. Fry's has these over the counter if you don't have access to a telephone supply house.
worst piece of sh*t i used in my life..
if you want something to make a fast and solid connection go with B-connector
like those
this model is "dry" but you can find some with a type of silicone that never dry in it that will protect against humidity..

Bear in mind that they are designed for solid core cable.
Having said that I occasionally use them where there could be moisture (used as a moisture seal rather than as a connector) but they can be messy to use.
Ever try pulling jellybeans out of a 3/8" hole? For some things, a staggered, soldered splice is the only way to fly.

You want to use connectors that can fit through the hole you are using for your contact. Most of use use B-connectors.
After you crimp them, you want to fold the c> Does anyone have thoughts on these kinds of crimp connectors requiring
