It makes it nicer when going from stranded to solid wires.

Ever try to bend and manipulate 5 twisted wires with a cap

Larger wire nuts take up too much space in box and are difficult to use when combining stranded and solid wire.

The wire failed before the connector failed

Yes they cost more than cheap wire nuts but well worth the few pennies additional!

I have found these to make a daunting task that had the risk of blowing apart your wire nut due to strain and pressure, or not being able to get your smart switching mounted in a box without serious strain, into something of ease.

What I really like is that it is possible to connect solid and stranded wire

Much more compact than wire nuts and more foolproof.

I found they were especially useful when connecting solid wire to stranded wires such as those found on lighting fixtures and fans

If you don't like wire nuts, these are for you!!

I've always disliked using wire nuts to connect more than three 14 gauge wires

Sometimes regular wire nuts are preferred if space is at a

Seem to be a tight connection, but I have noted that the solid wires will rotate inside the nut when moved around

So much easier that wire nuts, and the make a secure connections.

Stranded wire locks in place, but not as well as solid wire & lever can open up slightly on stranded wire when installing other wires, especially on the smaller gauge wires, make sure to twist the stranded wires before locking in place.

With the snap top to secure the wires in place gives the confidence our wires will not slip out in the future.

Very nice way better than wire nuts

Tried the push type connectors first and they work well for solid wire but not so good for stranded wire

If your project involves connecting multiple wires of different gauges, as well as solid and stranded, this is your solution.

Works great with solid and stranded wire.
