"I've used dozens of these gold plated banana plugs. If there is a problem it is that these previous reviewers are confused about what a proper crimp is and where it should be placed.

"These are not crimp-on as labeled; they are solder-on. And the insulating jackets do not stay in place (easily slide over the plug or off when you try to un-plug it). Avoid these and go for another. "

"These are solder on only; NOT crimp as stated on the package. The material is brittle and just cracks. Crimp? Solder? must have gotten lost in translation from Chinese to English. "

"These things are made out of a brittle material and will not crimp, but will crack. I bought 7 sets, and everyone cracked when I tried to crimp them. They do not solder well either, they need to be re-designed out of a crimpable material. "
