I've had them unplug easily. Had another that if you wiggled it, it would make and break contact. I solder all mine, taking care not to get solder on the contact itself.
I went to them after having trouble with some heavy-duty Molex connectors ( one contact got hot and discolored the shell) and, no, I was not exceeding the current carrying capacity of the connector. As far as using the smaller PowerPoles as a "standard" to insure multiple operators radios being compatible with each other, I find a connector that can be configured multiple ways (like the PowerPole can) to be a poor choice for that purpose.
