I sure stumbled on this one. . . . if it is NOT done right. Sorry Dave Engle

If there is any "dirt" in the contact between the wires, the transfer is inhibited. This may even a concern for soldering if it is done right.

I've never found wrapping a feeder around the bus and soldering it to be much work, I can do it faster than I could go find the proper connector and install it. I guess a secondary dis-advantage could be the possibility of installing a connector wrong leading to failure later, which is pretty hard to do with a soldered feeder where everything is out in the open and easy to verify? ......DaveBranum
