Thats why I use these...

It slows down the build but it gives it a clean look and you never have the dreaded wire stripped too short

Yes... if its 5mm then use a 5mm not a 3mm and you will have better luck but now that im not out in the 'field' its easier said then done, I can have every size here in arms reach and when your out on a call you cant have everything needed
As I said above I use Haupa Vario set of screwdrivers. I pretty much have it in any toolset I have (and I have at least 5-6). But for the diagonal CUTTERS, sure it is FACOM. I've tried many, many, but with these you can cut thick cables all day long with no pain in the hands in the evening, when you hold your beer. And after years and years, the tip is just like it was in the shop.

These are about the best I've found.

AD has good prices on them, one and two wire https://www.automationdirect.com/ad...stings_on_most_connectors)/Insulated_Ferrules
I have a set of German crimpers that I love and that helps speed up the process
You get a better connection with ferrules, the double ones can be kind of a pain on start-ups if something gets wired wrong. I would typically clip them and go to singles never had much issue doubling up if using the same size ferrules.
Guys always complained about spring terminals but for UL508A applications its nice not to have to re-torque or even have to document the torque spec.

Wouldn't dream of doing any control wiring without using ferrules, and if you ar elazy like me, this is the way to crimp them.

If your a panel builder then this is the one you need.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v3iIYP2juQ
But for me, this is the one I have, I like the front cripping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zidewfpKxu8
That's the one I had until I got the Klauke one.

NEVER had a connection issue using this approach using spring clamp style terminals.
Forgot about screw clamp terminals a long time ago.
