Something better than cigarette plugs/sockets

From my 12V battery or power supply, I've got a 4-way cigarette-plug socket box to power everything on my scope. Lately, the power intermittently failed on some things - a bit of a disaster when it was the scope. I've since figured out that it was the cigarette plugs. It seems they loosen a bit and lose connection (I leave my scope outside over the new moon for a few days, but keep it covered).

Any suggestions for a more secure type of connector? Or maybe a higher spec type of cigarette connector - compared to ones I buy from a local, well known electrical component retailer?
