My experience exactly.  Read ( then follow  [8*)] ) the directions!!!
Using Vector's wire I had several 100-200 chip industrial controllers
wired up by untrained (i.e., machinist) people with no failures.  My
only problem occurred when a trained electronics tech rotated the tool the
wrong way.  Great labor saver.  Daisy chains connections beautifully.

Never tried this one.

I did try a Radio Shack model.  Using Tefzel insulated wire the slit
insulation remained in a hairy cloud around the connection.  In my brief
experience I had no bad connections but they looked so crummy
I stopped using the tool.
