Yes, spelling counts. 8O

I've worked around U.S.A. electricity for north of 50 years and have never heard of Marrette. Wire nuts? Yup. All day long.

Marrette seems to be Canadian and a trade name for wire nut. Might have to get close to the (closed) border to find anybody calling them that?

Am glad the riddle is solved, thanks. I suspected it might be Canada speak given your location but the misspelling confounded it. My first guess was that it might be a cousin to the Loonie. :lol:

The guys in Calgary I hung out with for a while called a Crescent adjustable wrench a Cressley.
