Gary And, do you want to trust factory installed cheap connectors?

Cecil Installed by minimum wage workers?

Gary Who are judged by speed, not quality?

Bob Well, the average ham with a mighty 40-watt soldering iron and
Bob rusty pliers isn't going to do much better. At least the minimum
Bob wage guys are probably making cables with good tools -- 120-watt
Bob or better Weller irons with 1/2" tips, etcetera...

I spend just about eight hours a day lately at a factory where cables
and other stuff are made. Every day when I walk through the
cable-making section, I think to myself "wow, I wish I could use those
tools for my own nefarious purposes". The tools are expensive and
pretty high-quality, but the employees see them as just... tools.
