Banana Plugs with Dual Set Screws,Black and Red Aluminum Shell,6 Pairs

Very easy to set up and makes tight connection with speaker wire. Decent quality, though I'm not sure how they would work in a situation where you're changing speakers very frequently. I was looking for the crimp-on variety but no place I tried had them in stock. Using in a desk top audio system, where they're going to be in place more or less permanently. They work great for my purpose. Very quick and easy to install.

These plugs are the best thought out, designed i haver seen or used. I worked in electronics shop for a major airline for 30 years and have been in electronics repair and fabrication for 63 years and never saw any banana of this great quality and design. Two screws to hold the wire to the plug, offset so the wire is kinked and can not possibly pull loose. Plug fits very snug in the socket. The best thing to me is the insulated ferrule goes on last. Ever get your cable finished then notice you forgot to put the insulated ferrule on and have to take the end off to put it on. Picture shows different leads just finished.

Price, quality and ease of installation make these a very good buy. Remove about 14mm of wire sheathing, twist copper, loosen screws on plugs, insert wire into plug. Try to center the wire if it's not a thicker gauge and then tighten back screw and then front screw and then tighten down to keep them nice and secure. Place the metal cover and screw it onto the threads and finger tighten. NOW the issue I had was they are very hard to push into the receptacles. I was worried at first but with some pressure they popped into the channel. After you understand this you'll have no issue pressuring them into place. Having them tight is actually a good thing but unless you have some strange devices they will go into the standard plugs. Really nice set at a great price. Who cares what the name of the product is? It works well and at a good price.

The screwed connections worked well for 16awg wire, but the plugs would not fit into the terminals on my amp or my speakers. Since I was unwilling to use enough force to push them in, I used needle nose pliers to reduce the diameter of the plugs. They are still plenty tight in the terminals without having to force them in. I have used other banana style plugs before and have never had this issue.

After having used several less than stellar flex and banana plugs I was really pleased with the design and quality of these. I’ll be ordering more. Well machined, screws worked fine and secured the Amazon 16g Bronze speaker wire, an excellent cable, without issue. Let me share an important fact with some younger audiophiles that may be falling into the high dollar trap of monster cable and wire, particularly when dealing with vintage audio equipment, I’m 70 years old and have been playing with all of this since it was released: NONE of the top manufacturers specified anything larger than 16 gauge and that was rare. Typically they didn’t specify anything. Back then there was nothing but copper anyway.16 gauge copper, not aluminum clad has always been sufficient for great audio reproduction. None of the original terminals were designed to accept anything larger than #14 and you’ll struggle with that gauge on some equipment. “Oxygen free” makes me laugh. After spending a lifetime in the electrical trade all conductive cable is oxygen free when it is clad. Anyway, great plugs. Hope this helps save someone some expense and grief.

For under $10 bucks this is a great deal. I'm sure higher grade, audiophile quality exist for much more, however these worked seamlessly for me without any issues. All the parts were machined well and the anodized finish + colored wire shrink wraps were a nice touch. I recently set up all the wiring in my home theatre and this is a nice touch. I've used a similar product previously on multiple occasions. The only thing that could make this better is if the plugs were solid gold. These appear to be gold plated, but I have not tested.

Wow.... really nice! Thank you. Great design, sturdy, great firm connection. Original design.... good innovation. As long as they don't corrod over time they are pretty perfect.

It would be nice if you had a different color for the screws because they're so small you can barely see the slot where you can put your screw driver flat head in
