Results of electrical crimp terminal comparison

A while back I posted about good ring terminals with adhesive lined heat shrink. I have since ordered and used Ancor, BSP, and FTZ brand terminals. The Ancor are first rate in quality and price, the BSP are less expensive but lack the adhesive lining and some had a gap where the shrink did not close near the ring. The last terminal I tried from Fisheries Supply in Seattle was FTZ, great price and great quality! I have been using them all week and in my opinion they are trouble free and a lot less money than Ancor and much higher in quality than NAP.
