Hi Bill: I've found that if you strip the wire twice as long as necessary
and then turn it back on itself to the proper length, the crimp has more to
grab hold of and it will not pull out - I'm using a regular Power Pole
crimper.

fill
the back of the connectors with epoxy or is there a better way?
I haven't worried about the lack of strain relief, but with the small
wires I have had to solder the wires to the metal connector inserts after
crimping to keep them from pulling loose.
