WAGO222-413 LEVER-NUTS 3 Conductor Compact Connectors 100 PK

I always forget I have these. So much better than using Marrette connectors. They hold very tightly and make life much easier. I was installing a fan and it slipped, the reason it didn't hit the floor was bc these connectors held it together.

Little small I thought.

Just finished hanging 20 chandelier style lights in our event barn. I was about 1/2 way through the process when I received these. WHAT A DIFFERENCE.The first ten were installed using wire nuts for the connections. If you've never tried holding 3 or 4 wires with the ends all together so you can insert them in the wire nut, it's not always easy. Then you need to tug on each wire to make sure they are all "caught".With these Wago's, you insert each wire in its own little hole, flip the lever down, and it's caught. While I still tug on the wires to make sure, I didn't have one that came loose. The time savings with these was at least 50 %.FYI Novices. You use one of these for each conductor. i.e. The blacks or reds (hots) go into one. The whites (neutrals) go in another, and the grounds go in yet another.The only down side that I can see to these isthe slightly higher cost.

First time ordering these and they are worth it. Much easier than using the standard wire nut connector. So far it has held up well and holds a tight grip on the wires. I used these to connect wires for the recessed lights and they work perfectly. Anyone can do this. It is really easy to connect and hassle free. Highly recommend these.

In this example I used solid 12awg wiring. Takes a little force to open the clamps but once wire is inserted and clamp is closed wire is secure. I even tried to pull them out with a moderate amount of force but the wire remained secure. This is now a must have for all my future wiring projects. It saves so must time compared to traditional crimping techniques. I would definitely recommend.
