[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8860347, member: 576029"] Actually, a proper crimp can last the life of the vehicle. What's important is using the correct die/crimper, and getting strain relief. All of the connections from the OEM are crimps, none are soldered. That said, OEM crimps are a 2-part assembly that includes an insulation crimp for strain relief. My newest ratcheting crimper includes both a conductor crimp and an insulation crimp. What you linked is a terrible product. The solder never gets hot enough to melt before the plastic tears. And the conductors never get hot enough to wet-out properly. [/QUOTE]
