I prefer the non insulated crimp covered with heat shrink. It makes for compact, quality splices.

That's a great resource. Going to add that link to the blog post. thanks!

I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a good quality crimper? I was looking at some at Grainger a couple of weeks ago but didn't get one yet. Thanks

If you want something that is inexpensive and will work for both non-insulated and insulated wires I'd recommend the Klein 1005 crimp tool.

Waytek sells some nice crimping tools as well as McMaster. Parts express has a good selection too. I don't give my business to Grainger.
