+1 for the sleeves.
Another advantage is when you get to the debugging or calibration stage...
Not only you still have access for the probes (which is definitely not often the case with heat shrink), but the sleeve hold your probe in place, leaving your hand safely behind your back!
Regarding the dedicated tool, it's not more expensive than a decent air gun...
Speaking of air gun, I now use my hot-air SMD soldering station for heat shrinking, and it's definitely an improvement over the dirty and finger burning cigarette lighter solution I've been messing with for so many years!
