where to find very solid/stable Y-power connectors?

Subject says it all.  Separating this out from being buried in a prior 
thread.  Has anyone found a source for very stable / not affected by 
jiggling molex Y-power splitters for drives?

Here's what to do:
    Buy or borrow a pin extractor tool.  Insert the extractor around the 
female pin, to the bottom of the connector. move the tool to a slight 
angle and make a circular motion.  This will close the splayed pins.  
NOTE: Just close it up, don't kill it.

If this doesn't work, there might be a defective crimp on the 
connection, with a broken wire.  In which case, replace the "Y", or P/S 
pins, as applicable. 
I don't think there are any really good "y"s available, but you could 
make your own, albiet, you'll still be using tin pins, but better wire 
and crimping.
