I've been using Anderson PowerPole connectors since the 90s. I use them at home, and at work. I've purchased and installed thousands of them. Absolutely excellent product!

All three sizes fit in the same housing, but these give you the ability to use different sized wires for different applications. I also have a mix of colors for differentiating different circuits.
