tapping into 12V at the cigarette lighter

I want to do this without tapping into the harness or directly soldering onto the lighter. It's got the standard cigarette lighter spade connectors, looks like this. I figure I can make a little adapter out of a couple of pairs of spade connectors and some short wires, but I was wondering if there was something a little cleaner that anyone knows about.

I bought a bag of 200 of these on eBay a while back. I've always known them as doublers or piggy backs :).

 

We use them at work occasionally too, and if your terminations are in tight quarters its wise to throw some heat shrink around the non-contact portions of the spade. They don't make an insulated one that I've seen.
