That's total BS IMHO. Here's how you do it, followed by soldering & shrink tubing.

Yup.

That's a cool replacement for a basic butt splice (could be handy to have a screw hanger) but I much prefer the Western Union twist/solder/heat shrink for important stuff that I never want to have to look at ever again. Or, better yet, re-run the whole wire so there's not a junction.

I cannot express enough distaste for crimped butt connectors. I will use them at times, while holding my nose. But if I want it done right...
