lock or solder the speaker wire in the banana


I got myself the WBT0644 banana plugs for my speaker cables, these can be used either with locking the wire or soldering. Though the screw itself seems s little too short for the wire I was gonna use. But apart from that - would you prefer to solder the wire or just 'lock it'?
Thank you

Thanks, Elizabeth, you are right, the clip is required, I was actually planning to solder the wire, there is a space left in the plug enough for the solder tip to go in.
But when I got it I found out there is another obstacle with one hand operation on these, questionable. I was using WBT-0144 on my interconnects, on those I could use just one hand to tighten the plug. But on 0644 it looks like I need both hands, was a little surprise for me. I am thinking I will go back to standard less fancy bananas :(
Thank you for the response.
