221-415 Lever-Nuts 5 Conductor Compact Connectors 50 PK

If ever there was a better invention than sliced bread, this is it!. Solid connections and much better than the stab in style. I’ve always thought there must be a better way than twisting connections and hoping it holds when you fold it back in. Even the stab in style gave me doubts sometimes. With these lever locks, you can leave a shorter wire in the box and thus so much easier to fold back leaving more room for these newer wi-fi receptacles or switches which require more room. I tried the stab in style and even though they work ok, these lever locks remove any doubts of a solid connection. Virtually cants pull the connection loose. Oh, and also easy to remove and reattach if you need to reconfigure your wiring for any reason, like adding a three way switch at the last moment like I did. If you have any doubts about these, just try them, you’ll be glad you did and you’ll never switch back. Disclaimer: I am not a licensed electrician; but, I have a lot of experience building and remodeling. I was not compensated in any way for this review.

If you want the absolute best wire connection for 2 wires, a wire nut is hard to beat. But once you start connecting 3 or more in a small junction box, the Wago lever-nuts are the way to go. They are UL approved, so you know they’ll handle the rated amperage, and I’ve seen them tested to double the rating without failure. Every 12 and 14 gauge wire in my home is connected by them, and I’ve added the 600 series lever-nuts for 10 gauge/30A circuits. I still use and trust wire nuts; they are proven technology. But for most household wiring, Wago works as well and is faster and easier. I’m sold on them!

Game changer!

The standard for connecting DC or AC circuits. My wirenuts are in the trash. Not only easy to connect, but incredibly easy to update and add circuits as well.

I have been doing DIY wiring for 60+ years and these allow me to confidently and neatly make my connections and minimize box fill to meet code. I have about 10 years of experience with this product and yes, there are haters out there that swear the old "twist em and wire nut em" is the only reliable and safe connection. I have had plenty of open neutrals where someone who preceded me thought they had enough twists, but one white wire fell out. Not with these. You can feel the wire click in and clamp securely and I DO give them a tug, but always approved by the inspector and no failures.

I will keep buying the Wago products not only for the practicality but also the ease of use, simplicity, but also the value and built quality you get for the price you pay.

These work great. Gives you piece of mind as well knowing a wire nut is not going to fail on you. Only downside is how pricey they are.

The product is beyond great - I don't know how I ever lived without these things for use in electrical junction boxes. No severe pain from twisting multiple wires in a wire cap (I have carpal tunnel), they have two test ports for a probe, and you can apply them to form circuits literally as fast as you can strip the wires in a junction box. These are just better in every single way than even the push connectors made by Wago or Ideal. You can use them with wire sizes ranging from #20 down to #12, with both solid and stranded wire. They also sell a higher amperage version (221-615) rated at 30 amps that supports #10 wire. The only downside is cost, as these are obviously significantly more expensive than bulk standard wire caps. However, the expense is quickly made up with the reduced labor in installing them - as far as I am concerned, this offsets the extra expense. Plus, you never have to worry about a bad connection or broken wire resulting from a badly twisted wire cap.

Will rarely use wire nuts (Marrette connectors) again. These lever nuts are reusable and super easy to work with and Wago is the quality brand that started it all. Zero complaints.

Hilly recommended especially is crowded boxes

My husband asked me to purchase these and he's in love with them. arrived quickly and as advertised.
