    As a General Contractor, I often have clients that are undecided when it comes to lights and switch placements. It used to be a real hassle because designing on the fly when under a tight schedule can be very time consuming. Its similar to the proverbial moving company stories: Move the couch over here. Hmm...No, lets try over here...that doesnt work, lets move it back to where it was. Meanwhile, I am working with clients as well as subcontractors so it is important to know where the placements for the design will be. Wago wire levers changed the game. It allows me to quickly change fixtures, switches and placement without the hassle of wire nuts or push splices. Change your mind? No problem...When everything is settled, I can remove the hardware and put the wire back so the subs can move forward with client confidence. To me, thats worth the extra cost for these. The 5 wire splice is perfect for splicing ground wires together and takes hardly any time or effort to shove everything back in to the box. If you are bound to smaller boxes due to age or design, these are the only UL listed solution that can make it happen when the box cannot be replaced. Ever try to wire a dimmer switch into a box from the 60s? Its almost impossible. I will caution you to always double check: * Each wire that is inserted must be inserted all the way so you can see the end through the other side of the lever splice. If you cannot, you must open the lever, check your wire length and try again. * Fully depress the lever down so you feel it click past the indent which keeps it in place. Sometimes the lever looks fully depressed but it is actually not. * After pushing wires back into a box, double check that there are no levers that have lifted. This happens quite often and is not the fault of the design. The force of solid copper wires can be enough to rub against the levers and pop one or two open when pushing them in. It has happened to me frequently. If I know a project is complete and signed off, I will usually wrap the lever nuts once with 3M electrical tape. This ensures the levers will not pop open ... ever. When I think about the time I spend fitting fixtures for clients using other products, it easily adds up well beyond the extra cost of lever splices. Knowing a light fixture has to come back down for paint is no longer an ugnnn moment. If you know you are wiring something and it will likely never need to come back out again, I would actually advise using push/plug style splicers. They are just as fast but a chore to come back out (which is the point) They cost much less than the lever nuts so its a win win. Otherwise, the lever nuts are an amazing invention and will likely be here to stay. You can use them for car stereo wiring, home electrical and more. They even allow a mix of different wire types used together such as 18ga stranded with 16ga solid. Gotta love that.

    Ive given up using traditional wire nuts in favor of these Wago 221 Lever-Nuts. Why? Because there is NEVER any guarantee when joining stranded and solid wires that a secure connection has been made. Its a crap shoot. Sure, you can tug at the wires in the nut connector to make sure the wires dont pull loose, but you have NO proof that the solid and stranded wires inside the wire nut are making good contact. Using Wagos you never have to twist solid and stranded wires together. Since the connectors are transparent, you can easily see that the separate wires are properly inserted and a great connection has been made. If traditional wire nuts were made transparent and you could see how poorly connected the wires can be inside (specifically stranded/solid combined wires) I bet you would stop using wire nuts and switch to Wagos too.

    Excellent, if a bit pricey. Honestly, for virtually all wiring connection needs, these effectively replace wire nuts.

    Far simpler to use than all other two/three/four wire connection systems. As firm a connection as soldering and black tape and much easier to take apart and/or re-connect when/if necessary; most important: takes up far less space/volume than almost any other connection system

    I don’t think I am going to go around replacing all my outlets and switches with these, but whenever I do that kind of work it is nice to have these. Choose your nut (2, 3, or 5), lift the levers, stick the wires in, and drop the levers. Give the wires a tug and if they stay you’re good. No pre-twisting, no worries about having a nut too small, very straight forward use.

    The perfect replacement for those sometimes they work, sometimes they dont wire nuts. Too bad I didnt have these years ago.

    good for updating something or adding to a electrical circuit fast and easy to use, love them a bit costly but maybe someday they will get smart and make them cheaper and sell more than they are now. lol over priced but they do very good if your looking for fast easy electrical connections
