They're one and the same. If you're from the US, they're wire nuts. If you're from Canada, you call them Marretts or Marrs. Contrary to popular belief, "Marrett" is not French or French-Canadian. Rather, they were named after Scottish inventor William Marr who immigrated to Toronto, Canada. Wishing to be known for more than Justin Beiber and the NHL, Canadians call those wire connectors Marretts. :)

What are the ones that look like a wire nut but they are crimped and may have a ring that goes on the outside of the wire nut. Between those and flat head screws i feel bad for previous years.
