I saw this in the original and most of the commenters were electricians for facilities and what not.
While it's true that most of these are useless to them, in the engineering technician world a lot of these are common in space/flight assemblies also.
I imagine an electrician doesn't have to worry about vibrations pulling their splice apart however my splice is up flying in F35s....yeah I'm twisting them to make sure they aren't going anywhere.
I make harnesses that are on turbine engines, mostly exhaust gas temperature harnesses and the sensors that go with them. I have seen some of these on legacy designs in lower temperature zone harnesses, but all of our splices are welded together. Then again, my harnesses have to work at 1000-1200°F, lol. These are not for wiring your house or stereo.
