I use these sleeves when I need to land fine stranded wire in a screw terminal.
They come in 3 sizes and I believe 10 packs. They work really well for me…Tin plated copper…makes for a very secure connection. PRO tip: Use proper torque.

I use ferrule on all my wiring (heating engineer) make life so much easier and knowing that you have good termination safe a lot of hassle and time
I spent a few hours on a job trying to sort out why a new Nest heating control would not work correctly and all it was in the end a neutral wire was not terminated correctly

I believe that breaker has a clamp style terminal. No ferrule is needed.
Ferrules are needed for set screw type terminals. So that you can tighten properly. Without damaging the strands.

Yes it has clamp style terminal. How tight should it be? Should it be impossible to take it apart with the bare hands?
I tightened it the hardest I could but I can take it apart with the bare hands...
Yea sounds too loose
what I do is solder the tips of my wire so when I clamp it down it forms a square/rectangle of the wire basically
I think your wire is in wrong or the wire is too small for the clamp? Those things can seriously clamp down on wire. It'll break the wire trying to pull it out
it's like this pic?
