Interesting video, must be for general aviation, as it wouldn't comply with Boeing or Airbus wiring standards.For regular soldering yes, that's correct. The Raychem and TE solder sleeves are really really different from the cheap ebay ones though, I assume they (the Raychem ones at least) comply to some kind of aviation standard more easily as they end up being closer to being potted and completely sealed which changes things slightly.

EDIT: One of those sites has an interesting document from CASA about solder sleeves. Pretty damned detailed: https://www.steinair.com/wp-content...thiness-Bulletin-AWB02-009-SOLDER-SLEEVES.pdf
A solder repair on aircraft wiring would only happen at an outstation that didn't have 'compliant' crimpers.
Avionics engineers aren't allowed to use their own crimpers, as crimpers are considered 'controlled tooling' and need to be regularly calibrated.
