There's at least one current pending build that has incorporated these into a custom wire harness.  Now, if I could only remember the build thread!

I use 'em at work all day.  If you have the right crimper, they are a snap to use, although pricey.  They are gonna get bulky in a hurry too and there is no smushing 'em tightly together like a big gob of bullet collectors.  Also, how many tiny little parts are needed just to make one connection?...lots  I could see using them on something that is gonna get disconnected and reconnected frequently.  They are great for that.

I have used them a quite like them. The connectors have a nice water proof snap to them. Once the barrels are in the connectors everything is super solid.
I prefer the closed barrel type crimps over the open when possible. You do need a barrel crimped though. I got mine from Del City. I went with their compatible series. They are a little cheaper and are exactly the same for all the research I've done.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Very true.

I would agree with this too. Although if you plan your harness well, I have found you can reduce the number of connectors.
