Re: SLU-70 Lugs

The SLU-70s are easy to put on a wire, but, at the same time, they come off way too easily. Our team now checks them before every match. They worked just fine for us for a while, but right before the second match of our quarter finals, we did a power check, and nothing happened. It seems our ground from the battery came out of the lug. We had to rip off all of our insulation and find a flat-head while someone bought us a few minutes. As much as I know its to help with the problem of bad crimps, I really wish FIRST goes back to the crimp-style connectors next year--we never had a problem with them.
