WAGO 221 Lever-Nuts 36pc Compact Splicing Wire Connector Assortment. Includes (16x) 221-412, (12x) 221-413, (8X) 221-415

I had been reading reviews on some wire connectors that popped up in my feeds and the general recommendation was to stick with the original Wago 221 lever-nut connectors. I happened to have a wiring project at hand and bought this small sampler box to try them. OMG! These things are brilliant! They easily accommodate a variety of wire gauges and are easy to use and install. I think they take less time to prepare and install than traditional twisted wire nut bundles. Best of all, in an electrical box that is both a junction and contains switches or receptacles, these things are incredible at saving space, especially if you are also trying to include bulky items like dimmers or home automation smart switches/outlets. Your ground wires and neutrals can be connected and grouped neatly together in an easy-to-trace row of flat connections and pressed out of the way to the back of the box instead of the giant wad of twisted wires finished with a huge wire nut (and sometimes electrical tape) that tend to consume a huge chunk of the valuable real estate inside the electrical box and often requires you to squeeze the switch/outlet into the tight remaining space. These clever lie-flat lever-nuts leave plenty of room for the switches or outlets. Connections are quick and easy and almost flawless every time. You barely have to strip any insulation off the end of a wire for connection. In this case, it is almost less is more. I have been frustrated many times by a wire losing contact in that twist under a wire nut - or a short when a wire is inadvertently contacted/pierced as the switch/outlet is screwed in place. Often the wire shorts are difficult to trace and identify, and a pain unpacking and unbundling and re-twisting the wires together (or mending an inadvertent piercing of the wire insulation. Not a problem with these ingenious connectors. The assortment comes with 2, 3, and 5 wire connectors. I thought I might need to connect more than 5 wires, but that did not prove to be the case. If it were necessary, two connectors could be easily daisy-chained. I encountered a couple of 4 wire connections that wasted one of the slots of the 5 connector lever-nuts, and I momentarily wished there was a 4 wire connector - but apparently, that doesnt exist. While I kind of hated wasting the extra wire slot, I didnt lose any sleep over it. I liked these 221 series Wago lever-nuts so much after trying them out on the current wiring project, I have since purchased a larger assortment pack as I dont want to ever run out because I dont plan on using traditional wire nuts ever again! And I dont want to if I can avoid it! Thank you Wago for a great product, and these assortment packs are a great way to get started using them. While I havent looked, I presume I can purchase bulk packs of a single-size connector like you can with traditional wire nuts if I find I am using a lot of one size. But, that is a problem for another day...

Wago’s are absolutely the way to go..Ha! Incredibly easy to use and very secure connections. Especially useful for mating stranded & solid core wire—no more wondering if I got it right with a wire nut….

Great Product! Value for the money!

I have become addicted to WAGO 221 Lever-Nuts, and I use them in all my wiring jobs now. I ran out of the assortment pack I bought a while ago - this one refreshes my inventory with sizes I need. Interestingly, it seems that the seller has done their own packaging, but the contents are fine even if the case isnt quite as nice as the WAGO one I had before.

I recently rewired our entire downstairs family room with new ceiling lights, new switches, and new outlets. These made it simple and straightforward. So far, among the best DIY products I have purchased.

If this is what your looking for, it works as advertised.

Saw these on a YouTube diy video on installing 3 gang outlet. Very easy to use and easy to be sure wires are seated firmly and don’t take up as much room as wire nuts.

definitely easier than the old style and seems to hold well.

I will never use wire nuts again. Clean, easy install, good tight connection, takes less room than wire nuts when you have 4 or 5 wires.

Easy to use
