[workbox]

Cool idea seems legit nowadays to reuse precious metals
New compression lug connectors install without crimp tools, watch short video below

Brill idea, far better than crimped . Phil

Interesting. Looks handy but I noticed something at the end of the video ....

a 2011 date quoted. Now if a new idea is good, it would have gone pretty mainstream within 10 years? and I personally have never seen these.
is it because they are not that good? (seem good); or is it because the price is not right (I reckon this is the one - how many machined/stamped out crimps can you buy compared to one of those?) And how often does the normal person have a need to reuse a connector?

Normally the person you bought a used vehicle from!

You missing the point. Company starts with reusable battery terminals in 2011, and now new line of reusable lug connectors.
hope that helps.

not criticism, observation. Where can we buy these popular items?

I didn't see any there. lots of compression leg supports suggested though.
on the website, prices from $6 to $10 and beyond. have to be gold, not tin-plated for that to be a starter. Sorry, but who cares if you can reuse a connector if you can buy 9 replacements for the same price as one reusable one? and copper is recycled and reused not thrown away so forget the "saving the planet" aspect.
good idea, bad marketing (and not much use for UK/European when all sizes quoted are in AWG and Imperial)

To be fair the OP did put the link to the website in the original post. However they dont appear to be available in the uk.

When I said "any there" - I meant Amazon, following from RV2Maxs comment.

(I also said "on the website, prices from $6 to $10" and I couldn't have said that if I haven't have clicked the link to go to the website?)

It is nt clear from the website: how is the pressure put to the wire? When you crimp there is some surface area that the crimp is putting onto the wire. If this lug put pressure only at the front of the lug, it will cut the wire in time. Also i would like to see how it stands vibration.
It seem to be a US product so by the time you get it over here the $6 will turn into 10gbp, and at that price as @wildebus said, it better be gold plated...
