Tyco duraseal crimps are really good, but not cheap...
They're crimps covered in self adhesive heatshrink.

Soldering isn't generally advisable as the vibration can cause the solder joints to crack.
I have to admit I ended up making a load of solder joints when my stash of duraseal crimps ran out though
I'm sure I'll regret it at some point!

Wurth no longer do those solder sleeves,personally solder and heat shrink

Any joint that is not bright shiny solder is "Dry" and will cause problems.
