    My understanding was that solder can vibrate loose or melt.
    Forgot about going to napa. Thanks.

    Quality crimping makes for a much better connection for this type of wiring/lug. Hard to beat a solid cold weld.

    If you're using a vice instead of a proper crimper, or one of those hammer-powered jobs.... then maybe soldering is better.

    Sorry for being late to the thread, but I've got a set of 10ton crimpers in the east valley. :)
    But, I might get snobby and continually recommend that you get actual copper wire instead of the CCA in the linked kit. There's a massive difference between the current carrying capability of cca vs copper.

    So go with the welding cable instead?

    Or a good copper cable. There are a couple of different types.
    The welding cables have a good heat resistance.

    That welding cable is good stuff. I use that brand regularly for all sorts of applications.

    So is anyone still interested? I'm planning on doing mine on next wed or Sunday. I believe I have all the tools necessary. Except for a big wire cutter. . I have a heat gun , crimpers, hand tools..
    I'm in Mesa reasonably amounts of parking. I have an awning and a shop fan to help with the searing heat.
    Let me know.
