Bob Steele:
Because of the fact that you are required to use 10awg wire to connect the drill, CIM, Fisher-Price, van door, and Globe motors, you're practically required to desolder the original wires attached to the drill motors, and replace them with 10awg wire.

If you can find them at an electronics store, you can use standard crimp-on connectors which are the perfect size to attach to the physical leads on the drill motor itself. This way, you don't have as much risk of physically damaging the motor if the wires are yanked, however that may happen, because they would just pull off, with enough force.

I believe I once heard my father refer to this type of connector as a washing machine connector, used for electical connections in washing machines, if I recall correctly. They typically have a firm plastic cover or shroud over the conductor.
