Electric connect question

I need to connect two (don't know what gauge yet --- 2.0 3.0 ???) electric
cables together in such a manner that they can be disconnected in about a
month after a complete new cable system is installed. I understand there is
a clamp or other type of crimp connection that can be used for this. Does
anyone have any experience with such an operation that could point me in the
right direction to find such a crimper etc?

Here's what you need. They have them at the orange store and the blue store
in addition to just about all other hardware stores.

In addition to the split bolt connectors you will also need rubber tape and
plastic electrical tape to cover the connections. If you want to keep the
connections clean to make it easy for disassembly put some varnished cambric
tape over the connectors first, then rubber tape, then the plastic tape. A
wrench and large Channellocks are also needed.

Here is a really great product that eliminates all of the taping:

They are more expensive than the split bolt connectors, but are easier to
join wires and take apart. You can also use these safely on hot wires. You
will probably need to buy them at an electrical supply company.

Working with hot wires is inherently un-safe.

I guess I missed something here, I didn't get what you were talking about.
