Well built socket that holds the tubes (in my case upside down) good and tight. Not the largest terminals, but this shouldn't be a problem if you select the right wire. I'm going to order a few more of these.

It appears that the lugs on the bottom of P-ST8-802 are thicker and more robust than the generic (P-ST8-801) version. Also, there appear to be spring loaded metal inserts in the pinholes for securing the tube in place. Other than that, they appear nearly identical other than the slight difference in color

I'm the asker and I don't see that "spring loaded metal insert" feature in the pin hole. Are you perhaps seeing a ghost of the rear twisted lug terminal? I do see evidence of silver tarnish so must assume silver plating is used.

When looking at the second (middle) photo, you can see two "U" shaped metal inserts on either end of each slot. These grab the pins of the tubes tightly and they are not included on the P-ST8-801.
