Beg to differ. A FOOL is foolproof. Takes one to know the other.
Another issue is STRAIN RELIEF. This is where terminals fail and they needn't have. No terminal, from the tiniest digital size 30 gauge to 4/0 inverter cable should exert more than a gram or so pull-force on the junction. Long distance wire bridges should use standoffs even if they are home-made 2x2 wood pegs. Those nylon square zip tie mounts are great if a screw or rivet is used. Adhesive back nylon pads should have a dab of GOOP used. Natural color nylon ties and other hardware are inferior. Use black. Stronger, does not weaken when exposed to sunlight or ozone (electrical).
