Car and boat often different considerations. If you have the time and can do the soldering remotely in a vice it is superior.

If you can get around yanks saying soddering this bloke sums it up.

What's the go with Americans saying "sodder" and "soddering"?
I suppose it's like "erb" for herb?
Hey Don
Those crimpers are designed for uninsulated lugs and would require you to maybe double crimp an insulated lug, as a true insulated lug crimp tool crimps the wire ferrel section at the same time as the insulated section
Maybe get another pair like these, can never have enough tools

Those crimpers are all great but try and get them under the dash of a later model whilst you are inverted with your legs out the sunroof. HELP . CRAMP. BUGGER .

Ok I will go an pull out those 10 year old silver solder joints subject to the marine environment of vibration, heat, cold , condensation, salt and start again with my crimping tool.

I have seen many crimps done well fail with enough time, especially large multi strand to agree that crimping is superior. Crimping offers superior speed and practicality in terms of in vehicle crimping etc. Manufactueres use crimping because its quick and cheap and reliable when they do it with machines. Most people who crimp dont also use heat shrink which doesnt help. Also crimp ends are often quite a bit bigger than the wire meaning any heat shrink you do use doesnt fit as tightly or snugly onto the wire.
Cheers
When a crimp is done correctly the pressure welds the terminal to the wire. Believe what you will, I spent time being trained in mechanical connections and soldering for military applications and a mechanical connection done correctly is superior.

For a start Electricity don't know the difference between Marine , Automotive , Household , Aviation , Underground or even Space exploration.
Secondly Silver Solder is NOT recommended for electrical connections, Silver solder is for metalwork / mechanical soldering . Lead/Tin is for electrical work.
If your style of electrical connections is working for you , that great , keep up the good work. The last LandRover I bought had a mass of aftermarket Electricals done with twist joins & insulation tape . Served the Previous owner well no doubt.
