Summit brings another heater with the latest article on the OnAllCylinders page! They are talking about wiring and one of the topics says crimping is better than soldering and that made me feel way better since I succccccccck at soldering!
“For most applications, crimp connections are more reliable than hand-soldered ones. A proper crimp doesn’t damage the wire, add heat, or limit flexibility. The most common crimp terminals are insulated, but uninsulated terminals are cleaner and can be made without being obvious. A properly made crimp will last longer than a soldered joint and is easier and faster to make.”
