One point (btw I agree with cutting and replacing the bullet ends is easy
and safer) is that if you try to force the connectors you stand the risk of
expanding the tube.
I didn't this by attaching a wire and pulling the wires through. I didn't
notice the damage until later. The results is a sloppy trafficator.
Course another set of eyes and hands don't hurt
