Z-Man..using beans vs scotchlocks has been an ongoing debate I use both but prefer beans. I use beans in dry locations and if moisture is an issue I either use filled beans or scotchlocks. I don't strip the wire prior to crimping, unless it's heavy gauge or a mismatch of gauges. I've found more high joints in scotchlocks than beans, I think it's a matter of preference, I do agree you need a filled connector if moisture is a problem. I have seen bad connections with beans when pliers or dike handles are used to crimp, just as I've seen bad connections with scotchlock when the proper crimper wasn't used. Bill
