It should be possible, with just a bit of practice, and maybe with a little initial help from a sighted person, for a visually impaired person with good manual dexterity to effect a good crimp with a proper crimping tool. The terminals can be easily indexed by feel. A few short, identifiable lengths of the various gauge wires being used, with ends that have been stripped and lightly tinned, would make good go/no go gages to allow a visually impaired person to select the appropriate 15 or 30 gage APP terminal for the wire gage being used, w/o possibly bird’s nesting the strands in the process. I think most would agree that a good crimp is sufficient, and soldering isn’t generally recommended for these connectors.
