Negative. You need a "chair" lug.

Menards and HD have chair lugs.

What Larry said. If you split the strands evenly and tighten properly it will last 100 years. Still not permitted however.

Just saw one of those. Old SE cable to a range. Nicest job of splitting I've ever seen. As good or better than the chair lug, IMO, although it took four holes vs two.
