Phil,
Yes, this is one of the minor reasons I advise against using APP for CAN.

Understood. Always buy the right crimp tool!

We
never solder our APPs, based on experience. The threshold between a crimped connector and the housing is too tight to withstand very much solder. If you feel you must solder an APP connection, my advice would be to apply the solder only to the tip of the wire, and let it flow into the inside of the connector. Never allow solder to accumulate on the outside of the APP crimp connector.
