I'm running around looking for some device which will help me splice wires
together.

What is happening is I seem to cut into power extension chords on outside
jobs. I hamburger my way into cutting them occasionally, and need a way to
splice 'em together.

I'd like for it to be a way to not have too big a bulge in the line.

Right now, I use butt connectors and insulate the chords individually, then
wrap the whole connection.

Any better ways to do this?

Unless you cut it in half, throw away the smaller length and install a male
or female end on what's left

And if you *did* cut it in half, put a male connector on one cut end, and a
female connector on the other -- presto! *Two* extension cords.

The correct way is to use a wirenut, properly enclosed in a junction
box. If you don't want to put in a junction box, then you have to
replace the entire wire.
