Silver solder? I'd really like to see that one. I've done more than my share of silver solder on pipe. Your pipe has to just about red for silver to melt.
If you apply enogh heat to a crimp lug for silver solder, you've ruined any plating it might have had, you've probably burned off stands from your copper wire, destroyed any plating the wire had and melted insulation.

Yes, it's an impact crimper or hammer crimper.
