Stick to using the crimp tools. Solder wicks back up the wire and makes it too ridged, so the vibration causes it to fracture, normally inside the insulation so it is a pain to find.

If you have to solder use long nose pilers to hold the bare wire between the insulation and the terminal, it will remove some of the heat and stop the solder wicking so far.
