Hi Zac and guys , what kind of round terminal do you use for grounding points ? I'm stuck with the awful blue red yellow types we find almost everywhere (attached picture)...
Open barrel , closed barrel , insulated ?
Thanks a lot

I get those connectors cheaply, and then cut the plastic insulation off of them (usually a single cut with side cuts gets them to drop off) and use them like a closed barrel crimp.
I am also guilty of pulling the insulation off insulated ones before as Stephen suggests when I haven't got a small enough closed barrel lug.
But there are options like this:
Small: https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/ring-terminals/0433006
Medium: https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/ring-terminals/2082593
Large: https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/ring-terminals/4373813
For anything bigger where im crimping say 10-15 ground wires into the same lug I move to a proper closed barrel "crimp lug".
Hi , thanks guys , much more clear now . I will check rs online here in France .
I appreciate the support here 👍
RS used to be VERY expensive, so I'd also suggest checking your local electronics and electrical shops/stores.
Farnell (?) was also a good source.
