Despite the agreement from posters in general, line by line, the url
reads like a satire to me.

I was taught that soldering is far better than crimp.
What's your thoughts?


20 years ago I bought a selection of crimp connectors from J.C Whitney
on sale for about 8 dollars. Maybe 18 different kinds and sizes
totally 200 connectors For 8 dollars. 4 cents a piece.

Came with a crimping tool, which I use,

Am I to believe that the quality of the connectors is sufficient to
make a crimp? With cheap connectors, soldering sounds better to
me.
