Not a flame just a simple power pole observation.
Never had a problem, never fallen out (K2, K3, XV50) even when tugging
units around, soldered not crimped, no $40. crimper, not colour blind so
arranged the cable and connectors to match the equipment.
Each to his own I guess.

Well, I'll don my asbestos suit and dump on the power poles.
They're too flimsy, over-rated, over priced, non-re-useable,
non-standard ( red on the right or it is?? You cannot plug in any of
the Molex or later connectors such that the polarity is reversed and you
don't need a $40 crimper to install them.)
I use power poles ONLY when they can't be avoided.
