Crimping vs. Soldering

The weather pack connectors are great. I highly recommend for heavy-duty stuff, but on a street car they're overkill for most jobs. They also seem a little pricey when you're doing a complete harness, and I could never seem to find a large enough weather pack block to do a single-disconnect for a 15+ wire harness. On the plus-side, you can buy a weather pack kit with a bunch of terms and pins at nearly any auto parts store.

They make universal de-pinning tools BTW. They look sorta like gaper gauses with tubes sticking out.

/Cheap trick: Coffee-stirs work pretty decent as de-pinning tools on some connectors.
