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.
