Tri-crane swivels - what are they for?

Can someone please tell me what tri-crane swivels are generally used for? Bought a few by accident.

Im not a fan of three ways ( swivels that is !!) .. maybe ok on very heavy gear for bottom fishing but no good in the surf, the line wraps around them and weakens the line IMO.
