We were using normal Home Depot female spade connectors. Are there any that grip more firmly? It happened enough this season that the team is ready to try hook connectors next time.

Be aware that spade connectors come in two sizes for tab thickness, .032" and .020". If you have the wrong ones they will come apart but the correct ones usually come off hard to the point you sometimes need needle nose pliers.
