I like twist and heatshrink. But I went twist and tape with this last head unit. The wires are solid and ain't going nowhere.

you can get a little butane pen torch at home depot for like $10.

It can be used as 1. Torch (solders 8-12 awg nicely) 2. a solder gun (solder smaller wires) 3. a heat gun for heat shrink

I used to go with twist and heatshrink all the time, then graduated to solder and heatshrink, then moved to crimp caps.

I love this kink of work.
