VERY INTERESTING! Looks like what I need if I go that route. I will
see if I can find them locally to give them a try.

For me they leave a little nagging in the back of my head. Fortunately I
know they are there, why they are there and what each of them connects.
If one ever goes bad I know I can easily snip it off and replace with a
regular wire nut.

To all - Another benefit. Its easy to add things if you leave an extra
spot or two. I had a situation where I wanted to tap into a location for
a fan/light. It was very easy just to stab into the connector I wanted
to add this leg. The connectors used have 6 positions IIRC. Only 3 were
used in the case of the one I tapped into.

I suspect these were used by my contractor because they were probably
virtually the same price as the smaller ones yet more flexible in their
applications.
