I've used Raychem SolderSleeve. They work fine on "good" wire (with a 90-150C temperature rating), but you have to be careful with cheap wire. The insulation on the wire starts melting before the solder does.

The Molex ones look about the same. Raychem supplies aircraft/aerospace and the military with a lot of wiring items.

Oops, I forgot the link: Raychem Splice Products

I have no info on brands, but you might want to check way-tek, in addition to del city.
