Here's a butt connector to use that avoids the oxidation/pull-apart that so many crimp ons can do.

That does look easier and stronger than other solutions I've seen. Any idea where to get them?

I refuse to go to Amazon. I don't agree with the business practices they have regarding fulfillment warehouses.. I found them on fleabay. Not very expensive either.
