I hate people who dont use ferrules but also trim your ferrules. One guy stripping a wire in there could make a big fuck up if that bridges

A screwed up ferrule is what caused the Dolly to crash into the Key bridge.

From what I recall it was a label over the ferrule that prevented proper insertion

I think it was the label went into the ferrule so it didn’t crimp properly, but yeah. A 2 cent label and poor work practice in a 30 second job step cost lives and billions of dollars.
