No, I don't need your work credentials. I was just funning with you. By rookie mistake, I was referring to making the statement
on the forum that you crimp & solder. Your small amount of posts was where the rookie remark came from. No harm was intended!
FYI, That's the only way I used to make large gauge connections , crimping & soldering. I've never seen one of mine or anyone else's fail when done correctly. Now I just crimp & they seem to do fine like that.
I've been in the business for a few years ,too.
