I have done this several times in the past, being in the building trades. I have also done it wrong several times. The strongest, least likely to fail connection for solid core is exactly as Elizabeth said, a screw down. You could add a drop of screw lock to the screw and your connection will never fail. The allen screw is also a very good idea, you can torque it down better than a standard philips. Very good Elizabeth.
How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper
I am working on DIY cable project. I am almost done, I just don't know how to attach the spades I purchased. I have spades that require crimping. I need to somehow attach a 10 AWG solid single copper conductor to the spade. Can someone suggest a cost effective tool for accomplishing this. I have never crimped a connection and I have had a hard time finding a resource to aid me in my project, any will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
