8 Νοε 2018 · Three simple push in connections, tuck the wires in the box, screw in the device. If you opt for this method, I find it is better to pre tail the ground wires with insulated wire... It is one more safeguard against ground or arc fault breakers tripping with novice installers.
Wondering what the pros thought of Wagos, if they've ever seen any of them fail and whether they'd recommend for a DIYer. Do any of you use them yourself? Watch videos on testing... pullout strength and current overloads. It definitely changed my opinion, having been a hardcore wire nut user for 40 years. I use them a lot now, but not exclusively.
Earlier this year, I purchased a bunch of Wago 221s from Amazon. With all the reports of counterfeits I'm now concerned as to whether I got the real deal. The two dealers were Peppy Products LLC and Light in Depot, LLC.

2 Μαρ 2024 · I recently used Wago when installing two wall mounted lights in the bathroom. I feel that, as a non-pro who only infrequently does electric work, the Wago are easier and more reliable. I think you need less skill and experience to get a good connection with a Wago than with a wire nut.
