[Elecraft] K3 power supply question

[Jerry Flanders]

What am I missing here? Why isn't Elecraft assembling the connectors 
to the wire as a part of their process? Is there some reason to NOT 
assemble them prior to shipment? We all know how a loose connector 
can cause mysterious symptoms down the road.

I use powerpoles here, and I think I understand the system, but maybe not.

Some of Elecraft's customers are faced with having to spend $50 for a 
tool to use only one time? Why?
