A. Hall: easy to front and back probe but the holes are not big enough for most things to get into them and short out.
can be made weather RESISTANT with heat shrink caps.
definitely reusable, but not sure how many uses until it degrades. It doesnt seem that it would be very strong, by the way it clamps down so easy, but i could not, for the life of me, yank that MF'n 10Ga out of it.
would definitly buy again if needed for 10ga application.

I used on stranded wire, not sure about solid core romex..... Do they even ever use 10? idk,.,,

Cortez Tillett: Ceiling fan, switch boxes, junction boxes, receptacle boxes I have pretty much used this everywhere I can. Have you ever tried to put a wire nut on a short wire inside a receptacle or switch box save your fingers!!!

Rick: These were used to connect stranded wire to solid wire for a 30A 240VAC generator circuit to the main panel of home. I tested these with 30A and they heat very little, no more than the wire. These are the easiest safe way to connect stranded wire to solid 10G. They are tidy to tuck into a junction box. No need to tape the levers down. For short periods I'm certain they could handle a 40A surge as might be the case of a startup large load on the generator. It is easy to mark the levers with a sharpie. Forget screw knuckle joining, wire nuts or other approaches. Safety rated in North American and Europe plus elsewhere.

Michael A. HallMichael A. Hall: You can see from the pictures that the old way is not the way no more. Crimping wires, twisting wires., is a thing of the past. With Legos you strip them once, and you work with them for a very long time. Legos make it easy for me to interchange contactors in my motor control boxes to make troubleshooting a breeze. I can’t say enough about them they’re safe I love them.

Amjad Mohmood: These are light years ahead of marrettes! I'm sure some grizzled old sparky will disagree but not only are these really compact so you can stuff them into a electrical box easier but making connections is a matter of:

- lift the lever
- insert the bare wire
- lower the lever

The connection is very tight on 10,12, and, 14 AWG wires (that's all I've tested on) and you would have to use some brute strength to remove the wire without lifting the lever. Certainly way more force than one woild consider remotely reasonable.

Amazon Customer: Quick note: The numbers matter! 41x connectors can hold wires up to 4mm (12 AWG) in size, whereas the 61x can hold wires as big as 6mm (10 AWG). x12 can hold 2 conductors, x13 can hold 3, x14 can hold 4, and x15 can hold 5.. The 6 series is visibly larger than the 4 series, so it takes more space in the device box. In practice, this only matters if outlet real estate is tight.

I'm an electrician in Canada, and I use Wago 221-41x connectors in almost every outlet* in my house. While wire nuts are great because they simply insulate and protect a connection between wires, lever nuts are ideal for stranded wire, dissimilar metals, large wires, small wires, wires of varying sizes, and probably other things I can't think of. They're easier to use in tight spaces than wire nuts which saves me time and frustration, and they hold on surprisingly tight! I've used off-brand lever nuts from Canadian Tire, but those couldn't even do their job. I'm not supposed to be able to just pull the wires out... Fortunately, the Wago lever nuts grab tighter than a tick without damaging the wire, which is exactly what you need when doing residential wiring. Instead of digging into the wire to...
