Wire nut w/5 #12

Can someone tell me the best way to wire-nut 5 #12 wires in a 4x4"
box. I know that a red nut will accept 5 #12 solid wires, but is
there a better way ? I have seen posts that talk about con-blocks and
others that talk about compression nuts. I can't find either at
HomeDepot or any other big box.
Any help is appreciated.
You could also use a small copper split-bolt and (assuming it's not a
grounding wire) wrap it with tape.
If I was using a wire-nut, I'd go one size bigger than red (don't
remember what color that is, blue?)
