This has been discussed before.
The first house wiring job that I "assisted" on, the electrician tightly twisted all of the splices and left them conveniently dangling from the boxes. Then he came back with a hot solder pot and dipped a little swivel cup in the hot solder and immersed the twisted wires in the cup of solder. Then he came back and double wrapped the wires with tape, finally meticulously tucking the taped/soldered connections into the boxes. The boxes had to be positioned either on a wall or ceiling/rafter for this to work, of course. He wouldn't allow any of us "helpers" to do the soldering or taping, or tucking.
