Same here -- I've built at least a hundred pairs of Power Poles. I use 
them not only for ham gear, but for all sorts of equipment that gets 
powered from low voltage DC.

All of my Power Poles are soldered (and only soldered). I buy the red, 
black, and green shells and all three sizes of  inserts in quantity. I 
use the green ones for chassis bonding.
