Default wire splice

The junction box makes it hard to wrap an extension cord and put in the tool
box. However, maybe extension chords wrap easier?

Right now, I use butt connectors and insulate the chords
individually, then wrap the whole connection.

Any better ways to do this?


The correct way is to use a wirenut, properly enclosed in a junction
box. If you don't want to put in a junction box, then you have to
replace the entire wire.
