I agree with others on the pros and cons of crimping vs. soldering. The bottom line for me is if either is done right, they will be fine. I used to use a basic crimping tool and had to throw away have my lugs. I decided to purchase a high quality tool and have
had great crimps since. Here's the one I bought on Amazon. It comes with multiple jaws to work on many different lug types. I'm sure there are other brands that work just as well and probably others that work better. But I found this was money well spent.</div>
