Hi,

There are ones pictured in one of their manuals:



Maybe KD2E means those?  I've never seen those before, but they look quite handy for terminating wire that needs to go into pin terminals or binding posts that use a hole under the cap.

Yes, Mark....That's them!!!  But the flat blade ones might work also. Gonna try 'em both.  I like the idea of using those to fasten to simply jamming bare wire into items that have the "insert wire, tighten screw" type of connections.

I think they are called, "Wire end ferrules."

https://www.amazon.com/Ferrules-Terminals-Camtek-Assortment-Connector/dp/B07R6QQ7MW/ref=sr_1_14?crid=1YMYZ2OB1ADMH&keywords=wire+end+crimps&qid=1660501916&sprefix=wire+end+crimps%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-14

I use them here and have used them in my last job when building control boards. What they do is keep the strands together so they are not only reusable in terminal blocks, but it keeps the strands together when you insert them in a terminal block so they don't all fray and smash down.

Keeps the strands neat and clean.

What W9IQ shows is just a heavy duty ferrule that does the same thing.

Some hams just add solder to the strands to keep them together before inserting them into some power supply terminal blocks. This is just a neater and faster way to do things.

When I worked for a controls systems integrator we had a panel fab shop that was capable of making UL-rated panels. Some customers required that all wires be terminated with those ferrules instead of stranded wire going in to terminal blocks. It was a major pain-in-the-pathooey.

This type of crimped terminal is widely used in industry. They were designed to take place of tinning stranded wire.
By crimping them in a sleeve it minimized the chance of stray strands breaking off and the need to solder.
So they saved time as well.

Solder makes wire brittle.  That's why it's a nono in aircraft.

These crimps require a special crimper as well.  You might be able to use them with a standard STA-KON style crimper, but they are designed for a 4 way crimp.

The tool is expensive, but not overly so.  I have a bag of probably close to a thousand of those here at work.

I use these also.  I did buy a specialized crimper on Amazon that makes perfect crimps every time https://www.amazon.com/IWISS-Sleeve-Ferrules-Ratcheting-Self-Adjustable/dp/B08MZSC7PY/ref=pd_bxgy_img_sccl_2/147-7164161-0893612?pd_rd_w=Z3ehN&content-id=amzn1.sym.7757a8b5-874e-4a67-9d85-54ed32f01737&pf_rd_p=7757a8b5-874e-4a67-9d85-54ed32f01737&pf_rd_r=8W9HR9D39VHRGXSA0VTN&pd_rd_wg=64kVJ&pd_rd_r=a1644fc6-d7d6-48f0-b38c-6ee2e9ea1e19&pd_rd_i=B08MZSC7PY&psc=1

They are 5 mm Bullet Connectors. I suggest you buy quality like directly from Samlex part number SEC PSPP.
