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?
tks

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:
Working with hot wires is inherently un-safe.
I guess I missed something here, I didn't get what you were talking about.
