As long as you don't solder BEFORE crimping. I came across a vending
machine manufacturer that dip-soldered their wires before crimping which
negates the advantage of the gas-tight joint and is actually worse because
soft (lead) solder moves under pressure and would loosen in time.

I have the West Mountain tool for
PowerPoles, but I usually solder there, too, to resist corrosion
at the exposed end (or so I tell myself).
Belt & suspenders, I guess.
