Be sure to support your local fire department. You may need them.

I agree with Rod. I bought one of these 936 soldering stations cheap. I have been using it for about 2 years now with no problems. It gets more than hot enough to solder anything on just about any fan. No need to crimp connect anything. Extra tips are plentiful. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PERSDER-936ESD-SMD-Electric-Soldering-Station-Solder-Iron-Welding-Kit-W-4-Tips/371505966012?hash=item567f7b2bbc:g:Lw8AAOSwo~Ben54o

The second photo will work if a brass screw is used to connect them, normally used on a terminal block. A spade clip is not designed to be crimped at the spade end & will not tightly hold the wire. This will result in the connection overheating, causing more resistance, causing more overheating & hopefully the fire truck has arrived.

The article claims " and I cannot find it again" that Ford motor company used this method along with other companies... I dunno... I thought it was interesting... Geo...

I always do splices to the book!  The Western Union way.  Safety is no accidents.   p.s. A helpful soldering piece of advice... The bigger the blob, the better the job.
