3. This is what I DO, I butt splice on longer free conductors, with
insulated butt terminals. I find them very clean, secure (if done
correctly), and take up minimal room in the box, verses a wirenut.
Plus the price is what most customers can afford.

I've got a crimp tool that's damned near perfect, but the ones I see
available now are all wrong - they have flat jaws, which don't really
shape
crimps correctly. Have you found a source for a proper tool?

Proper crimp tools are available from AMP, Greenlee, etc. the problem is
you'll spend $150 on the thing.

Yeah, well, if you don't, you could burn your house down, or your boat or
car, wherever you've got crimp connections.
