Anyone use WAGO connectors?

[Teken]

I am currently in the process of doing some reno's and wiring changes to the infrastructure of the home systems. One of the best things to come to market is the Wago connectors.

Connecting multiple neutrals, hots, etc has always been a bear if removal of said wires was required. If the electrician twisted the wires correctly with his linemen pliers it is near impossible to separate!

Your only recourse is to cut off that wire lead. With some of the systems I have the leads that come with these components are already very short. So using these Wago connectors allows the installer future proof removal with out the problems of shorten leads.

Anyone else use these fine connectors?? They are more expensive, but used in the correct places they are a time saver, and installer friendly device.

Have used thousands of the DIN rail Wago products. They seem to be a quality product and work well. I have not used the specific product you link to but have seen it discussed here before.

The boys have been using them for a long time here. I have not personally used them in a residential setting. I thought that since these were available and not a lot of money ($0.20-0.40) per piece.

It would be a great time saver. Made in the USA is also a added bonus!

The above thread is the one I was thinking of. Do a search here on WAGO and a few threads pop up.

We used Phoenix contacts for switchboard and computer wiring.

I've, um, borrowed some from the electricians that we sub. Those are the coolest things ever. It brings a smile to my face when I have to disconnect/reconnect something that has these. Too bad I usually don't have any.

That was a great read . . .

I picked up a bunch of them a while back but haven't had a project to use them on yet.
