Why didn't I know about these!! I hate wire nuts, especially with 12 awg. I had to jam 6 of them into a double gang box, because whoever wired my house and whoever inspected it where both grossly incompetent. I just wanted to swap out 2 kitchen recepticles with something that wouldn't let plugs fall out. It took 2 hours to do a 5 minute job because someone thought 2 inches of wire is enough and did a bunch of questionable connections between the devices.
Wire nuts with 3 or more conductors never are confidence inspiring.
