So, which connectors are you using, and if you're using the PowerPole connectors, what do you think?

Thanks!

Our team used PowerPole connectors for connecting CAN bus wires and wires from CIMS to speed controllers this year. I'm not on the electrical team but I've overheard our electrical members complaining about how it's a pain to crimp PowerPole connectors. So you guys aren't the only ones who think that they are a pain to crimp. They may be a pain to crimp, but in the end they are secure and safe connections that stay in place.

Again I am not a electrical team member, so I am only passing down comments from electrical members from our team.
