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

These connectors are convenient, fit in small spaces, and work on wires 24-12 gauge.

Wire nuts were just not working in this application of a new circuit from a new sub-panel to add receptacles in my garage for freezers and power tools with 12 ga stranded wiring coming through conduit to a junction box, and these work great. They simplified wiring in a junction box that is hard to reach and has two different circuits with common ground wires. They will also make it much easier to add additional outlets to this new circuit down the road when I get that far in our home and garage renovations.

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!!

Absolutely love this WAGO connectors, first time using them, I did 6 projects so far and it was so easy to use, for me the quality is great, and more safe and secure than the wire nuts, definitely I will recommend this product.

Received the package quicker than projected. Had my first opportunity to use these last night and they deliver on the promise. Very easy to use. Easy to manipulate one-handed. Quick connection, a pull test to ensure grip and tuck away into the receptacle box. Yes, they are certainly more expensive than wire nuts, but well worth the money to me. No going back for me.

My new ceiling light came with twist wire connectors that took two hands to use, leaving no hand to hold the light. With these, I could attach one to each existing wire and then hold the light with one hand while attaching its wires to the existing wires (one at a time).

This is rated for any at home need. Perfect when connecting wires of different sizes

I originally bought these for dealing with some in-wall lamp fixtures but I find myself using them for literally everything now. Its just so easy to strip a wire of almost any size, stick it in and not have anything exposed. Then on top of that, having integrated test points. It just makes everything incredibly convenient.

I bought an assortment of these and have used them mostly for automotive applications so far. What I like is that they are easy to install with a built in gage to show how much length to strip, plus when you inevitably have to take apart a connection to make a correction the wire isn’t mangled up. One simple flip of the lever and the wire is free, I feel a lot more confidence than with some of the wire nut unions I have had. These are now the preferred device in my workshop.

My niece and me are doing some rewiring in my house and using these have made it so much easier. We are getting the job done faster
