I get nervous with lever style connectors because the wires can wiggle. I don't like that they can wiggle, let alone that you can wiggle them out if you try, and I don't understand why wago and or their competitors don't come out with a version that's wiggle proof! Heck, maybe even a version with an ancillary hold down like a screw grip for the conductor. I continue to be shocked by how well wire nuts hold wires together. Way better than it looks like they should from the outside. | |
