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

After coming across a video on YouTube with a electrician using this item in a demonstration. I had to have this item and I’m glad I did. I used it to hang a light in the bathroom and installation was a breeze. No more twisting wire and hopping they stay together while you twist the cap on and taping to ensure it doesn’t come loose. This item comes with a 2-5 wire connection which is wonderful. Hopefully, this review will help you to get away from twisting your wires together. Again, it’s super easy to use as you clip to your existing wire then the new wire or vice verses. Either way you will enjoy and never want to use to old method.

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

This product is fantastic and completely eliminates the need for wire nuts. These are more secure, easier to use, and provides a much cleaner install over tradtional wire nuts.

These are electrical wire connectors. They greatly simplify connecting 2 to 5 wires together in place of wire nuts. It takes one connector for each type of wire. For example if you are connecting three 3 wire cables for a circuit. it would take one connector for the black wires, one for the white wires and one for the ground wires. If you dont do your own electrical work, you dont need them.

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 ordered these Wago connectors after seeing a few youtube videos on them. For some reason, they popped in my feed. Im glad they did. I ordered this assortment pack and it came today just in time for me to put in a bathroom fixture. The connectors are so much better than wire nut connectors. I can never go back. Much easier to use and more secure. I like I can put them over the wires coming out of the wall once the old fixture was off to insulate them (even though power was off but I like doubling up safety). Unlike a wire nut that you have to take off, expose the wire and put the fixture wire together, and twist this one you just push the fixture wire through and close the clamp. Its just a better mousetrap. I watched videos of guys pumping through 4 to 10 times the rated amps on these things. They would have no problem on a full 30amp or even 60 amp push but in real-world applications these 221s would only be used for 30 amps or MUCH less. Im using it on an LED light today that pulls a whopping 25 watts. If you do electrical projects around the house these are great. Also in gang boxes that might have 3, 4 or 5 neutrals or grounds you dont have to wrestle them all in a wire nut. just pop each on in the 3 or 5 Wago and its clean and easy.

These are great items to have in your bag when working with electrical wires. It made assembly so much easier when I was putting up lights in my shed. I highly recommend.

Residential wiring.

So its no surprise that anyone who wants to make wiring easy to work would look to something like the Wagos. Honestly, Im a big fan of the slide-in clip concept and hope they keep designing a foolproof concept that will make these a fantastic alternative to the traditional wire nuts. That being said a word of caution. These are becoming my go tos and I cant wait for the prices to drop and become even more reliable. Id love to see these be as tough as wire nuts as far as grips go, but Im not going to say they are that bad. I use to work as an electrician helper and while wire nuts have a more secure grip, these would be ideal in any new construction as this will create a serviceable splicer where you wont ever have to worry about having enough wire. WARNING!!!! If you are a novice and are just recently getting involved with electrical work, Id highly recommend trying to keep your cuts straight and long enough to reach the back end of the clip. IF YOU DO NOT CUT CORRECTLY, THE CLIP WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND YOU WILL RISK AN ELECTRICAL ACCIDENT!! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CONNECTION LESS YOU RISK ENERGIZING ANYTHING METALIC LIKE YOUR LIGHT SWITCH COVER, OUTLET GROUND SHIELDING, OR ECT. ANYTHING METAL CAN BECOME A CONDUCTOR SO PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR WORK BEFORE CLOSING UP!!

As advertised and well made.
