If you use crimp-on terminals, get a good crimping tool that holds
the outside radius constant while forcing a prong into the crimp and
rolls the split into the joint forcing it against the outside radius
with the wire in between. Don't use the cheep Wall-Mart crimpers that
just smash top and bottom together. JJ

What he said. It's worthwhile spending $30-$50 for a good crimping tool
like that. It will serve you well for your glider, trailer, car, and
other wiring uses.

This advice applies to other connectors you might use, like the
Powerpole type many people use on their batteries. The larger the
contact, the more difficult it becomes to make good soldered connection.
