Solder sleeves are cool tools, but I'm way too cheap to pay almost a dollar a joint. So, I've always just soldered & then heat shrunk to insulate.
But, while prowling an Asian shopping site, I stumbled upon these:

I'm sorely tempted to roll $20 worth if dice to see if they're any good.

Don't do it Charlie. I do NOT think that they are solder sleeves. I get the
impression that they are crimp connectors. Nowhere does it mention solder.
Heat is used to shrink the tubing.

Charlie...et al.
I purchased a similar looking box from Amazon and was disappointed. The shrink sleeves are extremely thin .008-.012 in wall. the solder sleeves were also very thin wall. If using multi strand with fine strands there is insufficient solder to fully wet out the strands.
