Saw them on speedTV.

The Posi-Tap caught my eye because I need to tap into an existing ignition lead. Looks like a good way to do it.
All the rest of my connections are crimped and heat shrinked so not sure I could use the other styles but they are nice.
Pity there are no multi-conductor connectors in their line. It looks like only their "Posi-Tite" connection is weather-proof. The price isn't too bad compared to something like a WeatherPak connector, esp. when you factor in the price of a good crimp tool.
I tried one of the type shown. Wal-mart has some of the types in the automotive section.
They work okay but are not the cleanest installation out there.

Wouldn't be using them for anything high current (headlights, etc).
Solder and tape is still the neatest and most secure method for joining wires in my experience (auto elec for 20 years).

I use them, and once the wires are connected these babies stay connected. Great product and very easy to use.
They are phantasitc! They are not water tight, but they hold tight as all git out. Only problem… They are expensive as platinum.

This really does appear to be an issue that's nearly religious. Aircraft use has been crimp only for a long time, and those guys are pretty anal. |
The inline connectors are great for temporarily wiring stuff that you may remove or during testing of new components. They're also extremely handy on the side of the highwway.
