You're welcome! Yeah, I can definitely understand, if it's just a generally crappy design then spending time and money to fix it might not be appealing.

Snipping and soldering wire is actually pretty doable, you'll be pleasantly surprised I think. The absolutely foolproof solution is these "solder seal wire connectors" - this cool new invention where you just stick the two wires in a tube, heat it with a lighter, and bam, you have a waterproof/insulated/solidly done connection. You can buy those on Amazon for pennies apiece: https://www.amazon.com/120PCS-Solder-Seal-Wire-Connectors/dp/B07S62KYSL/

If you're looking for the easiest and fastest way to make solid, reliable connections - this is definitely it. Takes maybe 60 seconds to learn how to use them, and then you can make connections quickly and easily. To cut and strip the wires you'll want a wire stripper, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/WGGE-Professional-crimping-Multi-Tool-Multi-Function/dp/B073YG65N2 - the video also gives an example of how to use it, also very simple to use (put the wire in the hole, close strippers, pull.)

Soldering is a bit more of a time investment (depending on how fast you learn and from who, you can learn to make semi-okay solder connections in between an hour and a day.) I'd recommend asking a friend to help show you how in person, but there are plenty of online guides that are decent. This guide is almost a bit too detailed and makes it seem a bit trickier than it is, but it's fairly decent: https://log.andie.se/post/4529161438/soldering-is-easy-the-comic-book The key is really just 1) decent soldering iron ($20 on Amazon will get a decent one), 2) decent solder (absolutely not lead-free solder, always start with 60/40 lead rosin-core), 3) a bit of patience.

Good luck, and feel free to ask if you have any more questions - I'm happy to help.
