In my bucket of marr connectors I have this little tool which will fit into a standard hex tool socket.
Not sure where it came from but I have used it a couple of times. It will not work for the large size connectors or the very small connectors.
For home AC wiring, I like to use wire nuts (the generic term; Marette being one brand) with wings for gripping. I mostly use the "one-size-fits-all" ones: https://www.idealind.com/ca/en/category/product.html/Can_Twist.html#30-207 They are able to handle a large range of numbers and sizes because the plastic deforms to allow the coil inside to expand for larger joins. The drawback is that they tend to not be reusable because of that deformation. -- Scott
