Posi-lock Connectors

I've used them and I love them, but I never really used them for anything other than stereo stuff I don't believe. They're awesome for when you keep having to swap stuff out, like TheDriver216 said with his stereo. Wal-Mart used to sell them years ago but they stopped carrying them shortly after. I never had any problems with them though.

They're also great for testing to make sure something works the way you have it wired before going through the trouble of ACTUALLY crimping or soldering.

I still want to get a whole box of these in all different sizes lol.

I remember when they first came out a few years ago...
The manufacturer was touting them as "crimping without requiring a special crimping tool".
Already the red flags went up...
These were nothing more than field splices that you could use in case of emergencies.
I don't care too much for them cause they are bulkier than a proper inline butt crimp connector.
(Who uses those things rather than run the proper length of wire in the first place anyways???)
