Ur doing it wrong. Every connector in your car is a crimped connection - all the little plugs, your ECU connectors, etc, etc.
yeah, by a machine designed for that purpose, not a cheap radio shack crimp barrel and shitty stamped crimper like what most of us have. (or even worse, pliers)

Quote:Soldering can come apart due to vibration and heat as it is brittle - crimping does not have this problem if done properly.
if your soldering is brittle, you used too much solder.

I guess the moral of the story is just whatever you do, do it right.

and also, no reason you cant both solder and crimp a connection

(btw, for non stressed wires, tap splices kick ass)
