FWIW - My memory of the National Electrical Code is that
soldering is permitted for low current connections (up to 20A),
but higher currents require wire nuts or some other approved
connection. The code authorities worry that a bad connection
will got hot and melt the solder letting it flow out of the
connection making mischief inside the electrical box, as well as
make the connection worse possibly causing a fire.

Yes, the proper crimping tool is mandatory IMHO for APP
connectors of the 45 amp and above rating. With the 30 amp and
below connectors, soldering is a possibility, but not for the
larger current rating connectors.
