WAGO 221 Lever-Nuts 75pc Wire Connector Assortment Pack with Case

I first bought an off brand and compared it to my friend Wago’s and I immediately returned the off brand for these. I was trying to save a few bucks but learned this brand is the way to go. The closure on the lid snaps nice and tight without worry. You can see the wire through the plastic so you know it’s in place even though you should give a pull of the wire to make sure it’s in there solid. These are very well made.

The Wago connectors are the only ones I trust in tight places where you don’t have enough room for wire nuts. Very easy to use and have a very secure connections.

My son uses the solid stand wire clips but these will work with both solid and standed wire. Works so easy..

These make electrical jobs so much easier and faster. Plus you can make changes quickly because of the lever. I like that they are see through and the connections are easy to test through openings on both sides of each connector. I highly recommend this product. I will be buying a larger amount next time.

Very glad that I paid the extra money for the Wago brand name. I looked at some of the cheaper, knockoff connectors. In fact I had a set that was almost half the price of the Wago in my cart. Then I decided to do a little research before buying them. What I discovered was the ones I had weren’t UL approved and wouldn’t pass an electric inspection. I wasn’t so worried about that as I was the potential danger from using a substandard connector. There’s a lot of things to consider when buying these. For instance, how difficult is it to unclip the snap. If it’s too easy it can unclip when you push it back into the junction box. Also ,how much actual metal to wire contact is there? Not enough and it can heat up and melt the connector. Finally, how much metal is actually going from one wire to the other? Not enough and the metal can melt and act like a fuse causing problems. As far as I can tell these knockoffs aren’t tested, or worse tested and failed. I’m guessing that for most applications they would work fine. But for the price between genuine and imitation why take the chance? If you have even one issue with one connector you’d regret not spending the extra money. Of course, take anything I write with a grain of salt. I haven’t personally tested either the Wagos or the cheaper ones. I just watched some YouTube videos and justified spending the extra money based on what I saw.

I like the ability to use these in an install and have it be secure. Being a DIYer I’m not very confident in my ability to get a stranded wire around the solid core and secure it with a wire nut. These are easily secured and easy to check if they are secure also. The strip gauge on the side is a nice addition.

i have been wanting to get these for awhile now and ordered some. i got the package in and the box was damaged. i can tell it was damaged before being put in the package cause there was not broken pieces in the box. also there was a few missing from the container. i contacted wago customer support about it and they were no help at all.

Wago connections allow for quick tie-in of multiple lines and easy add on of pig tails when faced with original jbox wiring is too short.

After coming across a video on YouTube with a electrician using this item in a demonstration. I had to have this item and I’m glad I did. I used it to hang a light in the bathroom and installation was a breeze. No more twisting wire and hopping they stay together while you twist the cap on and taping to ensure it doesn’t come loose. This item comes with a 2-5 wire connection which is wonderful. Hopefully, this review will help you to get away from twisting your wires together. Again, it’s super easy to use as you clip to your existing wire then the new wire or vice verses. Either way you will enjoy and never want to use to old method.

Im still a budding electrical reliability engineer for my home appliances. This package gives more flexibility to test and separate multiple electrical connections from grounding (unintentionally) to the metal box. Im not an expert but the AWG 20? gauge copper ground wire from the three wire residential line fit almost too snug when I installed a couple smart switches in my house. The levers would sporatically snap up, and the wires would fall out during my install repositioning, often with a click that caused me to think that the circuit was powered on. The connections are also a little tricky if the wire is not flat (especially coming out of the twist type connector). After stripping enough wire, doing the pull test, and then checking for continuity i decided its best to use electrical tape to secure the levers. The connectors work very well with smaller braided wires. To be honest, I wish there were 4 way connectors included here. This package has options for 2,3,5 connections and plenty of each. Nothing was missing. Its just nicer to have the option for what I need. If a person needs a quick way to test and install semi permanent circuits without using a lot of space within the residential metal box. These work well. I can see when the connection is completed. With the normal twist type previously removed its just a blind hope the wires have a bond. Not displeased with the purchase.
