After reading the ad copy about gooey black tape on your 12 v connections;
and "avoid having a hi amp 12vdc short & fire".....  I WAS SOLD ON 
POWERPOLES....

I had the gooey black tape on my console wiring... nasty & ugly..
and I had a line of #20 short ...for a while causing a very red set 
of wires...and smoke....not good in a wood console.

After crimping 40- or 50   by the "10$" crimper  & got the good one...
It creates a fantastic crimp....  & I still sometimes touch the front 
side with solder.
Just a touch, or it will flow onto the contact surface....
