You can make a good quality crimp joint on solid core

Hydraulic cripping tool works every time, in fact some of the solid crips can't be used with anything else, a ratchet crimping tool will not touch them.

The red blue yellow dot ratchet crimper I have always been told is for stranded wires like flex and auto wire connections only and never to used to solid conductors.

you need to use a special crimp tool with teeth and the correct crimps to joint solid wires

I've never seen a hydraulic crimping tool with a die to fit a small blue/red crimp.

Some crimps are suitable for solid conductors, some are not.

Battery/hydraulic crimpers available for this very purpose, although not likely anyone's going to buy one for occasional crimps.

Scary thing is , people who do carp work like that actually think that they have done a good job.
