Something I do is cut the eye terminal to look like a question mark [?]. That way it is more secure than just a “U” terminal.

The only thing I hate about any screwed type wire terminal, except for the fully closed type, is that they tend to splay out when you put the pressure on them; however, you need to put a bit of pressure to insure that you have a gas tight connection. The boogers are notoriously hard to get a torqure wrench on. So, I'm left either leaving it to loose, or squashing the devil out of the thing. The completely closed terminals don't raise my stress level quite as much.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
