im with you kinda gangster if you put that shit on my car id come ( if it didnt burn down my shit first) back not just for a refund. know what i mean do it right or dont do it at all. that harbor freight torch lights cigarettes or maybe shrink heatshrink tubing.there great for small tasks $10 solder follows the heat id go with benz-omatic job as said. CLEAN joints PRE TIN all mating surfaces light flux paste too. those terminals have all sorts of oil and dirt and chemical residue you cant see.

What type of solder do you use?
-
@zZZzzzSnooze2nd you can get a propane little tank with a regulator for 10 dollars, that gets hot enough to even desoiider terminals, I did about 12 today

Nice cold solder joint.
That might look good outside but you have zero penetration inside the lug and around conductors because you only heated the upper portion. You need to heat both wire and the terminal, and push to solder into conductors to make a joint.
Otherwise crimping with hydraulic crimp pliers is the best and safest way to terminate those big ass cables. I'm a cheap ass and I just crimp it first with vice then make a solder JOINT.

@RideTTD2003 Yeh someone needs to mention the crimp

actually, when you solder it, it makes a better connection, and essentially bonds the wire to the lug. if it were me, i would crimp it, then solder it.
