Larry;
Solder wicks its way up the wire between the copper strands and this makes
it rigid. If the wire isn't fully supported, vibration will cause it to
break at the point where the wire goes from being flexible to rigid (solid).
Solder makes a great electrical connection, though.
As Dave pointed out, a crimped connection is excellent but only if a proper
crimping tool is used. Good crimp connectors usually provide a bit of
support to isolate the wire vibration from the crimped joint.

OK I give up what is wrong with a solder joint, is it the wire will break at
the joint?
