Any tools you use on a PC connector will just be a temporary fix and you'll get very frustrated while you're missing shots and cursing at a cable. Robert

May 24, 2010 10:33 | #7 I think it stinks that I paid so much money for a set of Pocket Wizzards, and the supplied cables don't hold at all. To be forced to spend another $15 (each) on screw-lock cables really stinks. Oh well. Puggle

You also have to remember that only half the connection is the cable and the other half is in the hardware. A poor connection is the result of tolerances in both components, not just the cable.

I ordered the screw lock cable from flashzebra too.
