Works like a hot damn, I personally fill it about 3/4 and just trim off the extra that flows out.

I just use a real big hammer...I find with the soldering method I can never get the wire to stay in the terminal after I am done it just pulls out with moderate force

Big hammers and vices are only going to increase the chance of breaking the terminal and or flatening it out which still is not going to improve your connection, your ultimate goal is to "bond" the terminal to the wire...............solder is the only way to do that..............

i stick the wire into the ring terminal and just pour hot sader from the top down and let it sink into the wire untill it sader starts to pour over the top........then u know u have dumped the maximum amount of sader into the connection and there is no more room left.
