Huh. Fascinating. My solder-and-carefully-fold method takes about 5 minutes per pin (yeah, I know, right?).
How do the ferrules work? Just slide it over the wire and crimp the whole mass together, or are you describing a replacement for the springy peg? It would be a little more clear if you could show me which ferrule you use. Thanks for the tip, I think you just saved me many, many hours.
