Agree... and your landline won't work without them either.
If you want to see a Telstra Tech cry, take his scotchlocks off him
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Not going to argue about it but any wiring job that has a SL somewhere in the system
that will be the weak spot and it will fail on a 4x4... TJM wired my trailer plug with scotch locks
as it was time effective [cheap] had a huge talk about why they shouldn't be used.
Now all TJM shops use solder and heatshrink on all
trailer plug installs never had a problem since
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Solder might be better than scotch locks but it will fail way before a proper crimp. That's why NASA solders nothing.
I agree for the most part but, actually, NASA soldered everything when they alledgedly lobbed a few blokes onto the Moon.
NASA set a standard called HRHS (High Reliability Hand Soldering) which was a bastard qualification to get but set the bar for the best part of 30 years.
I must have soldered about 200 bifurcates before I got enough to pass.
Crimping is now the standard in aerospace and rightfully so due to repeatability, quality assurance, ease of inspection and weight saving.

PCBs were soldered, interconnections were actually wire wrapped...the most reliable method of all.
... I try... I fail a lot but I try
Pretty much all the interconnects from my era were soldered.
Thought I had seen the last of them when I left the RAAF but a heap of telemetry gear I am changing out at the moment (80's vintage) over here in W.A. has 2 PCB's with 50 odd soldered bifurcate terminals on them.
Glad to see the last of those suckers I tell ya.

Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp self-inflating mattress. XL version will fit nicely in my ARB single swag...just have to wait for it from the 'States now...
We splice joined 7 /067 cable then soldered at tech when doing our apprenticeships, never used it in the field.
That takes me back
Cheers
