Also very interesting to know. I may have to get me one of those small heat guns. They should work much better in tighter spots.

I have the Portasol butane iron(I guess it's now the 75 watt version) with the heat end and deflector. But admittedly after starting this comment I remembered I've not used it on solder sleeves, only regular/environmental heat shrink.

I like the iron shape better than the mini-torch shape.

I wish you guys would stop with the new toys that I really ought to have.

@larrynimmo this is what I used.  Pick up some wire at same time  

 

No sync wire exists. There is a pin for the sync wire in Whelen connectors.  

We used Molex connectors with a cable tie to secure connector lengthwise
