Moderators Youthman Posted November 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 6, 2014 Mine have a similar harpoon mechanism, but mine are not the ones from Sewell. Bought mine from a forum member. I also have some non locking from GLS and they work great but are not locking. IMO, the locking type are much better and should last longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly McAloney Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 I know I do no need them per say, but I like them but if I can't get them to fit right than in the garbage they go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out links http://sewelldirect.com/Sewell-Deadbolt-Banana-Plugs-6-Pair.asp http://sewelldirect.com/Spade-Connector-Full-Copper-45-Degree-Angle-6-Pack.asp That deadbolt type is not good. I have similar ones and it doesn't have screws to tighten the wire. I have pulled the wire completely off those banana plugs when I pulled on the wires. Get the ones with screw/s to tighten on the bare wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldred Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The idea of the dead bolt ones is to push the wire in and fold it over the little teeth and fan it out then screw the assembly together ...you will not be able to pull it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vital Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Better than using a razor blade to spread them out, grab one and use the end of a screw driver or something and thump it on the nose a few times. It spreads them out with one hit, nice and easy. Banana plugs is all I use, So hold the back end and hit the part that plugs in dead center and watch it spread out. If it spreads too wide, don't worry just gently push them in a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
