 I work in aviation and we have gone away from crimp splices as a rule.  we still do crimp pins in plugs, but use this:

for inline splicing now.  All you need is a heat gun and life is good.  The red ring in the middle is solder and flux mixture and each end shrinks and has an enviromental shield that keeps out the moisture.  Good stuff.
