not a big fan of using those where the soldered portion at the base of the ball end is flexed every time you brake,
at some point the cable will break, there.

Brake levers made to be at the end of the cable always pull straight and either hinge the cable end fitting.
anchor it in a pivoting part of the lever ,
or, by using barrel cable ends the barrel is free to rotate and remain a straight pull .
