Crimping tools are for people who never learnt how to solder.

Actually almost every standard for wiring in high vibration situations
discourage solder. Marine and automotive especially. Solder can creep out
into unsupported strands and increase the possibility of fatigue failure.
ABYC, Lloyds and several other marine standards strongly recommend crimp
rings only.
