I’ve used those a few times - keeps it nice and straight if you don’t have much slackIdeal SpliceLine In-Line Wire Connectors Pack of 10 - http://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/ideal-spliceline-in-line-wire-connectors-pack-of-10/42201?tc=UA4&gclid=CjwKCAjw8IXMBRB8EiwAg9fgMMC5bZQx9nkRlCzGy2bhq4kNiU68RBD4nuIFrr9jlGvBMQu4GWYpzxoCjc0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=COepqMCvudUCFYnjGwod3tIFFA Use these...stagger them and heat shrink.
Surprising how these have now become acceptable, when I first posted about them, there where subject to all sorts of disparaging remarks, one even that the yellow lever should have been stripped green.one of these with heat shrink over.

What size cables are you intending to crimp Mike?
Big Clive on YouTube tested these recently and as I recall was not too impressed with the results. The solder does not seem to flow into the connection too well. Think they are ok for low current applications, but that’s about all.In a scenario of cable being drilled into for example, as a last resort the cable can't be replaced, joint can't be left above wall unit etc (Wago), I've used butt connectors & heat shrink, as you've suggested. I bought some of these, but not used them yet;

They'll be some arguing against using crimp connectors on solid cables, but I've seen that disputed on another forum.
PS Lets not have any book shelf jokes
