mechanical v swaged
Ryan,
I think you will find that most of the mechanical terminals (Norseman, StaLok, and Hayn) all function very well. Though the Hayn models are more astheticaly pleasing. They all work well.
Some pros for using mechanicals are the terminal is re-usable (in but the extreme cases), ease of replacement, and field replaceable.
Cons would be initial cost (about 1 to 2 times a swaged fitting)
Pros for swaged fitting would be cost.
Cons would be if the wire is condemmed so is the terminal.
