Hi Mex'
I love PowerPoles! I have a TRIcrimp crimping tool that shapes the terminal such that it fits perfectly into the plastic housing. It works with the 15, 30, and 45A contacts.
I'm not sure how this crimper compares to your T&B, but if you assemble a lot of PowerPoles the TRIcrimp is worth its weight in plata.
I have also used solder-only with great results, but I prefer crimping for most installations (for all the usual solder vs. crimp reasons).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
-Mark
