I don't have a specific brand name, but one thing I have found very useful is this little handheld crimper.
It works pretty well with those cheap Chines'ium "crimp style" connectors.
The one bad thing, is that it takes a pretty decent squeeze, to get it to work.
EDIT:
For waterproofing, I use the shrink tubing that has some sort of "magic glue" inside it. So when you heat it up, it softens the glue while simultaneously shrinking,....Thus creating a waterproof connection.

I believe he wants "quick-connect/disconnect connectors".I don't have a specific brand name, but one thing I have found very useful is this little handheld crimper.

Something like these:
These are excellent for power and ground. Available in 3 sizes with 30, 60, and 90 Amp ratings. I am a bit skeptical of the current rating but I use the XT-60 for 30 Amps in many applications.
They are not waterproof but they are gold flashed and unless you need something that will stand heavy spray or submersion I think they will be fine.

Those Deutsch ones look very nice, expensive, but probably worth the cost if you truly need waterproof or multiple contacts.

Deutsch connectors the best, but you need a range of cable terminations and crimper dies depending on cable gauge. Definitely expensive.
I use the sort of crimper that RWT does, but avoid the pre-insulated cable terminations because I've found that its hard to be sure they are crimped firmly enough and none fit in connector blocks. In my opinion they are a fire risk. Instead, I use the uninsulated terminals (easy to see that you have a good crimp without having to tug on it) and use matching connector blocks (Hella, Utilux, etc).
For single cable connections I use insulated sleeves or adhesive heatshrink like RWT refers to.

Thanks for the link. They will help me with a wiring issue in my old car by installing a modern radio that looks like an old one.
Those are called "Weatherpack" connectors, used in automotive and other devices. You can get them with various wire sizes, for different current ranges.
