Just as an FYI, there are some nonexpensive fusion splicers out there. Chinese models (AI-8/AI-9) for under a grand on Amazon. Less on eBay/Aliexpress. I got one. It works. There's apparently an add-on for splice on connectors. Smaller handheld models from Jilong (a grand) and Easysplicer (bit over a grand, V groove, Swedish manufacturer). Both support splice on connectors.
FOA mini "review" on the Easysplicer: https://www.thefoa.org/foanl-5-16.html Any of those should work for terminating drops. Personally I prefer fusion splicing over mechanical splices.
