I am not sure how 'legal' it is but I prefer on balance to extend
mains wires bu strippng, twisting andÂ* soldering the conductors and
using heatshrink tubing on live and neutral, and also an overall
heatshrink tube over the whole lot...

I tried crimping, and if you have the right wires crimp and tool its
fine, but do you?


Also, I can solder in tighter spaces than I can crimp.


yes.
