Thank you for an excellent detailed video. I was using your exact technique EXCEPT..... I didn't notice the wide side of the tool until you clearly pointed it out. I was also considering solid wire but it now makes sense to use flex.
Awesome video. I've been crimping these connectors for +15 years and never noticed the crimper isn't symmetrical... It's so much easier now, I always thought it was hard because my crimper was cheap :-)
Glad it helped Berten! It could *also* be cheap crimpers. I just thought crimping was hard for years using cheap plier-style crimpers before getting a decent tool.
Hey 1984. You can definitely solder connectors as well but if you plan on any repetitive stress or movement a crimp will hold up better - as long as you use stranded wire. I tend to solder solid core wire/connectors when they will be enclosed and free from stress and crimps on anything that will be moved/removed/bent or whatnot.
