Where do you get ferrules or wire connectors in general? Trusted brands? (zerobytes.monster)

Usually I just pick up assorted kits from Amazon. Recently I picked up a kit of butt connectors from Amazon and they turned out to be garbage.

They don't pass the pull test. I've bought other generic kits from Amazon that were fine so I'm not sure what exactly what was wrong with these ones. I think maybe the metal is just too soft or something to form a solid crimp. I am not really sure what the root cause is but I am certain these are not reliable.

Never thought much about the brand for something like this but this was pretty frustrating. What are you guys using? Where do you get it?
