Hello,
Even large, and large-radius thimbles will leave you with other problems: there is, to my knowledge, no improvement in preventing crevice corrosion; the terminals are designed to approach 100% efficiency on 7x19 wire, but you will need two for anything like that on 1x19, and then you are into the tricky work of getting an even load on both sleeves; and no matter what, you still have a snaggy, ugly terminal that is no more efficient than a swage, and not a lot cheaper. You can certainly use them, but I see them as being the wrong tool for this job.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
