The last turrets i bought didn't solder well. Which manufacturer keystone, Harwin etc do you find the best?

I used turrets from Tube Depot. Very pleased with them, but in some places it would be nice to use turrets with larger holes.

I use split turret Harwins from Mouser, part # 855-H2073Z01

These are the ones Brian H. used. :thumbsup:

Why do we do turrets instead of eyelets?

Turrets v. Eyelets = Chocolate v. Vanilla.

personal taste. I've tried both and found I prefer turrets

I find I can't fit more than three average leads in a turret. If the leads are thick, two at the most.

I don't care for wrapping leads around turrets.

Had same problem. There are turrets with a larger holes. Use those in places where you need them. :)
