[QUOTE="Duke, post: 4308786, member: 553656"] 01sugar2, that is a pretty awesome explanation. I like to crimp, and then solder the crap out of everything. I've never had problems with any connections using the "crimp then solder" method. Here is a really crappy and clumsy video of me crimping some 4/0 wire with the almighty CRIMP ANVIL. Notice the hole in the top of the terminal for dumping solder in after crimping the crap out of it. In pulling tests, I was never able to pull(yanking and jerking it:D really hard while it was screwed down to a workbench) the wire out of the terminal JUST CRIMPED and not soldered. The solder is just for good measure and peace of mind. The crimp anvil works AWESOME for up to a bit larger than 4/0, and effective for 10 gauge.
