WAGO 221 Lever-Nuts 75pc Wire Connector Assortment Pack with Case

One can find any number of videos on youtube related to the electrical trade talking about these things. One important takeaway: These are just as good as some claim, if not better. If youre a DIYer, you probably use wire nuts wrong, and its worth the price of these to ensure you dont inadvertently cause an electrical fire. If youre a pro, you know how long it takes to make a solid connection with a wire nut, and what each minute of your time is priced at, and switching to Wago lever nuts will save enough time to make it worth the added cost. Also, whoever has to go behind you and change something out in a remodel will thank their lucky stars you were so forward-thinking!

I was wiring strand and solid outdoor lights - 20 in the air. Then it all had to be pushed up into the box. With these you know it is right and will not slip out. More than worth it. If you are a sometime DIYer? Then spend the extra. For the speed and especially surety. It is sort of expensive though. But I know the quality of this brand and recommend it. Wiring must be tight and correct.

I liked everything about this product

Expensive compared to a standard wire nut. These are far superior to the standard nut. Makes connections easy and the wires are secure

Convenient, quickly does the job.

Nice storage container to keep the connectors in.

These are easier and faster to use than twist connectors (wire nuts). However you pay for it. Id say its worth it due to the time and effort saved If installed correctly, these connectors work as well as wire nuts. Just my 2 cents

I bought these for the first time to help with some crowded wiring I was doing in a remodel. Im using 12 gauge wire, which can be a struggle if theres a buy junction box. In particular, Ive been installing smart switches and USB outlets, and these devices take up a ton of space. These lever nuts really helped with making a safe, compact installation. Its VERY important to strip the wires to 11mm as the instructions describe, or the lever wont lock appropriately. I used electrical tape to keep the levers from popping up, but that probably isnt necessary. Bottom line - Ill use these from this point forward, regardless of being more expensive. I just feel the reduced size and stronger assurance of connection is important enough to warrant using them.

I picked up this variety pack of 2/3/5 wire connectors. I had a chance to use some of the 5 connector versions in a somewhat crowded single-gang box. I fit everything into the box, but somehow in the process of cramming everything in, on two of the three connectors I used, one of the levers broke off. Had to pull it all out and replace them, then even more carefully fold and tuck it all back in. I also used some of the 2 & 3 connector versions in less crowded boxes which work great. I especially like the ability to use stranded wires, which the Ideal push connectors cant do (unless you wanted to bother tinning the lead). So thats definitely a great feature. I dont normally have stranded, non-tinned connectors in an outlet or switch box, but when it comes to hooking up light fixtures, its very common. Yeah, they come with wire nuts, but I just like the simplicity of push (and lever) connectors, and they make it so much easier to fit things into the box. In summary, the levers can break. I thought I was being careful but in the process of pushing into the box, they may flip up slightly and then snag and break. Might be better to wrap in electrical tape if thats a concern, so they dont inadvertently open. Requiring a bit more force to pop them open could be beneficial though.

Been hearing about these for a while and thought I would give them a try. They are super easy to use and the clips are pretty strong at keeping the wire locked in. With that said, I would still use traditional wire nuts for high load situations. For me I found these are perfect for installing simple lighting, in my case LED lights. Checked the connections after install and letting the lights run for a while, the WAGOs were still cool to the touch.
