WAGO773 WALL-NUTS 300pc Push Wire Connector Assortment Pack

Hard to accept change, but these are a new Gold Standard for wire connectors. They have been independently tested thoroughly and found to be safe under proper loads. They are quick and easy to use, and I think a bit more compact to stuff into a box. Because the wires are parallel, and not twisted into a bundle, they fold neatly into the back of your box.They were perfect for connecting my can lights inside the attached boxes. Many come already outfitted with similar connectors--these are great when they are not so equipped. Fast and compact.I had a junction box with three, eight conductor bundles. What a pleasure to poke them into the 8 pole connectors, no twisting, no cramming. Tucked neatly into place. And, yes, you can pull a wire or two out (a few twisting motions) and reuse the connector, as authorized by the manufacturer.Be sure to buy this brand, or a connector certified by a nationally recognized testing lab (UL, etc). For one thing, you cannot pass an electrical inspection with non-certified connectors. More importantly, if they are not certified, they have not passed testing to assure the are safe. If you want to cut corners, buying cheap, untested components for your electrical system is NOT the place to save a few dollars. Your home and you family's lives are at stake. NOT WORTH SAVING A FEW DOLLARS!!

I used the 6 position connector in a box, tying together a bundle of neutrals. A vacuum cleaner down the circuit caused the plastic on the connector to melt and the neutral wire popped out of the connection. Going back to good old twist on wire nuts to make sure there is a good connection between wires.

This can and did simplify changing outlets and switches by measurable time. I went from wrestling with wires to easily changing outlets lights fans and switches with minimal effort.I have an older home wit 14g wire for reference. 14g wire is thicker than 16g in most newer homes. This will work for 16g wire. Im simply stating it helps a lot with thicker wire more efficiently.

These are a huge time saver, they create a safer work environment. When I make up boxes, I put one one of these on my hots and no more worrying about accidental shorts. The future for electricians. We have worried about how they will hold up, but they have been around awhile now. Love them.

Just buy these, don't even think about it. These connectors made wiring a 4 gang box with all deep z-wave switches a snap, I would still be trying to get wire nuts stuffed into the box without coming undone if it weren't for these guys!

Fabulous time saver when pigtailing multiple wires!

Solid wire is fine. But when trying to connect stranded wire from a light or in my case, a bathroom vent fan... It doesn't work. The internal clamps of the connector don't allow the strands to push through to catch them. I twisted the wires, doubled them over to make them thicker. Nothing works. Absolute junk.

I could not be a stronger ambassador for these wire nuts: I absolutely love using them for solid wire and thick stranded wire works well too. For smaller-gauge stranded wire, the spring tension is too great to overcome; Wago makes other connectors that are more appropriate.
