The day before the BS8 ( scarborough expedition) went on the air...
my rotor stopped turning...

The motor inside the M2 2800 had become loose from its mounting, and 
had shaken the solder connection enough to snap it.

I agree that #10 is a challenge with the West Mountain rachet tool; 
however overall I like crimp. But without the 50$ tool I agree solder 
will probably is the best overall way to go. That plier (GB) crimper 
, even after a ton of crimps ( practice) does not
reliably yield good crimps.
