Alternative to pancake plugs?

So I recently made a bunch of patch cables using Hosa 2319 (I think) and the GLS pancakes. They work good and everything, but right now I've got a windfall of smaller pedals with top mount jacks (Organizer, RRR, put down money on a CT5
) and I think the profile of the pancake will be too wide. What plugs would you use in such a situation? I would really prefer to stick with something soldered, because I've got a ton of that cable left over.
TLDR: I need lo profile cables that are smaller than pancakes.

Waffle plugs... Also since Radio Shack is closing I'd try to get some of their right angle patch cords cause they last forever and are cheap...
Soldering your own cables is a wormhole...

I got all kinds of various other patch cables, but I like my home brews the best. What kind of cables does Elevenstring use? He gets pedals crammed together real tight!

Pretty sure he used Lava? But I could be wrong.
Lava sells soldered ones but OMG they are expensive.

Heard good things about Evidence Audio solderless plugs.
But never tried it. I broke too many Lava, wont purchased them anymore.

Dude I can break any fucking patch cable known to man. I shit you not. LOL
The ones that have lasted me the longest are Hosa. I hate them, but fuck they last.

Since this thread was brought back to life, Disaster Area just releases some new solderless plugs. No idea on the reliability since they are so new, but another contender

Bro why you lying to me!!! Those are solderless.
Stupid damn solderless shit. I bet they are the exact same as the rest.
EBS is the best now. LOL. I'm dumb for my earlier comments.
