Default Solder or crimp ??

What's your issue? What he said is perfectly correct. Crimping is
better but only if it's done *right*. We often do both (crimp, then
solder) because we don't have the proper tools for all of the
connectors we use.


The comment Clare@Snyder.... made about solder wicking back up the
wire and stiffening it rings true to me - because that's where the two
failures I've experienced happened: about a quarter inch up the wire
from the actual joint.

It's all part of AC43.13-1b
