222-415 | WAGO Lever-Nuts® | Original Lever-Operated Splicing Connector | for Solid and Stranded Conductors | 5-Conductor with Operating levers | 28-12 AWG | Gray housing | [Box of 40 Pieces]

In our family (hubby and me) I am the official online procurement officer and #1 assistant and gopher... I finally got to actually "help" install some overhead light fixtures in our new laundry room and hallway (we are building a house).... Holy Moly! These are slick and easy to use. I am handy myself, but hubby normally gets to have the fun of using these type of gadgets. I was so pleased with them, that I asked if we needed more for the rest of the build, yep already ordered. Let's put it this way, using the old method with wire nuts involved mumbling, grumbling and sailor language (yep we were sailors), and at least 15 min per light... with these level nuts, prep the fixture, less than a minute, not one curse, then up the ladder to the overhead, insert the mounting screws into the box, insert the wiring into the level nut slot, and snap! Verify that the wires are secure, and it's all over except I have to clean the fixture globes! Would I recommend these? Oh yeah! Note: Hubby prefers the gray ones over the clear ones. I have no idea why, but after that super smooth mission, who am I to question a good thing?

We bought a house some months back and it needed extensive electrical work. I had completely rewired another house before, so I had a lot of experience with this. I used traditional connectors for most jobs. But I found once I started get to more than two wires together, it was extremely difficult to get all the wires together at once. They frequently came loose. Dead circuits became common.I had two situations where this was being used: One where the circuit was in transition from old wiring to new, and another where it was entirely new wiring. For the first situation, these were absolutely perfect. I can add and remove wires individually without disturbing the others. They fit extremely snug and I haven't had one yet come loose. It's amazingly sturdy. You'd think those little levers would snap right off. Nope. They're in there amazingly tight!My only gripe is that these are fairly sizable, so they take up a significant amount of room in the box. Typically I used them until the wiring it fairly stable, and then swapping it out with a permanent nut becomes very easy. Those nuts take up about half as much room, and still stay snug when moving the wires into place.Well worth getting a box.

These are very high quality, well thought out, and a joy to use. I don't use them for all connections because of cost but I do use them frequently for connecting dissimilar wire gauges, and especially when connecting stranded to solid. The most common use case for these is either 12 AWG or 14 AWG solid to stranded wire in lighting applications (such as recessed lighting fixtures) or any similar application where the device includes a pigtail with stranded wire. I will also use in some cases when connecting four or five wires together (as here) for 12 AWG since the twist wire nuts which accommodate that connection are very large and do not fit well in some cases. This connector seems to provide a more solid connection in those applications. Expensive per-unit, but worth the cost for a quality install.

These conductors are AMAZING and a real time saver. Not to mention they give you peace of mind. They are well built and designed. The levers snap down on 12-28 AWG very securely. No need to worry about loose connections electric caps working their way off or electrical tape deteriorating causing a potential hazard for your home and family. I have a older home that has went through a couple piecemeal renovations. So even changing out a couple switches and sockets was a to say the least task! The wires were a rats nest, not marked and shoddily taped together by whatever hack the previous owner had do the job. After I figured out what wires went where a connected them with these. It was a breeze! Safe secure and easy, no more twisting wires together taping and putting on caps. Just strip the end snap em in and wire them to where you need it. I truly wish I discovered this product's long ago. It would have saved me a lot of time headaches and worry. All around quality well thought out and constructed product, I find no faults with. Don't hesitate just click buy, save yourself the time effort and peace of mind !

This product was suggested by my father who is an electrician. I had a 3-gang box and needed to provide power for all 3 switches but I didn't want bulky wire nuts getting in the way. It is a pretty fast learning curve to use this connector. Pull up on each of the little finger switches to prepare to insert each wire. Strip just enough wire for half the depth of the wire cavity. Insert the wire until it stops. Press down on the finger to lock into place. A slight tug confirms the connection. The wire can even spin to position it, but it will not come out on its own. By stripping the wire only half the length of the connector cavity, the bare wire is not exposed when inserted. And if you make a mistake, pop up the finger and trade wires. It was fast, secure, and tucked away where I would otherwise have multiple wire nuts in use. I will be buying more of these.

Fast delivery and product was correct.

As ordered

These are great. They make wiring projects go fast and they take up little room in junction boxes. They also allow releasing a wire making re-work really neat and easy. I recently used several when wiring some lighting and outlets. Highly recommended. My initial use was with solid #12 wire. I recently replaced a ballast in a florescent light. For this task I made use of 2, 3, and 5 lever Wago lever-nuts with both solid and stranded #16 wire as well as #12 wire. They made the job much easier than it would have been using traditional wire nuts. I suggest getting a box of the 2, 3, and 5 lever nuts as a start and then replacing individual boxes once you get low on any one style.
