Who has not had a Powerpole disconnect inadvertently?

I must have made up many hundreds of APP connectors over the years.
It's the de-facto standard for interchangeable 12-volt equipment in
the world of ARES/ACS as well as for fixed station use.

After I learned to do it properly with the correct tools and genuine
parts (not knock-offs) I haven't had pull-apart or fall-apart problems
at all.
