If you try to solder the solder would run out of it. It's a 35mm crimp lug.
I'm sure your more experienced than I am, I only had 50 years in the game. We first used crimp lugs in 1964.I solder them, stick in a vice, heat up with a gun, fill with solder, heat shrink.
To crimp it properly it should be hexagonal when finished.To crimp it you need a self made tool--- cut the correct size nut in half while taking about 3 mm off and use it in vice to crimp it .to

I have a similar tool and it does an excellent job, and is fine for crimping non safety critical wire splicesThese are quite affordable and work well complete with dies for various sizes .

I have these same ones as well , i'd describe them as the dogs bollocks , excellent and well worth the money if you are making even as little as half a dozen cablesI have one of these. They are worth having for any motorhomer who does DIY.
Doesn't even need to be a short. Just a lose connection can easily create enough heat to melt the solder.Shouldn't be soldering them, if theirs a short they could heat up and the solder melt.
Silver solder is ok, much higher melting point.
They are pretty good for home use. Check the dies mate correctly though, sometimes they don't line up quite true which can leave burrs along the length of the crimp. Easy enough to trim down with a file thoughNotice the crimp die's are HEXAGONAL.
And that crimper is CHEAP....might have to buy one.
