WHY IS OURS SO MUCH BETTER?

Theirs

Ours

We vary the inside AND the outside diameter of the connector which means that both sides will make a positive crimp. STRONG MECHANICAL TERMINATION!

The outside diameter of the butt connector is the same on both ends and only the inside diameter is adjusted for the different wire gauge. This means that the side for smaller wire has a much thicker wall than normal and is extremely difficult to crimp. POTENTIAL FOR WIRE PULL-OUT!

Theirs

Ours

Has two stripes - one on each end - to indicate which wire size to insert. Plus, the stripe matches the crimp die that needs to be used. For example the blue stripe indicates the side where a 14 or 16 AWG wire is to be insert ed, and it will be crimped in the blue crimp die. MAKES SENSE!

Has a color stripe to indicate where the smaller size of wire is inserted. However, it must be crimped in the larger crimp die. For example, on their connector for 14-16 to 10-12 AWG, the blue stripe indicates the side where a 14-16 AWG wire is to be inserted. However, it must be crimped in the Yellow crimp die. CONFUSING!
