I just looked it up and found that the 10-12 do only come in .032". I was wrong (I hate it when that happens). Perhaps it is the Home Depot quality. My favorite are Thomas & Betts but there are many good brands. Could it be that they were not fully inserted onto the tab? Maybe you need to get Tyco lugs to use on the Tyco tab as it may have a detent that works better with their lugs. I just know that in too many years of machinery wiring I have not had the problem of them falling off.
