I've been using Kadees (mostly #5s) for years and never had any problems with them. My model railroading has been mostly 'armchair-type' the past 10 yrs or so and a lot has changed! The only choice back then was to install Kadees, and after following this string I see no reason to not stay with Kadees. Are newer design Kadees compatible w/ older #5 design? Any neat ways to avoid having the tiny coupler springs from launching into the carpet? I've tried tweezers, a very small screwdriver and even various X-Acto type hobby-knife blades with varying degrees of success. Is there a specific tool that I should use to make it less stressful to install a couple hundred pairs of Kadees? Are the newer design Kadees less of a headache to install? I have approx 100 pairs of #5 Kadees stockpiled and hate to not use them. Thanks in advance..
