Ideal Electrical in-Sure Push-in Wire Connector, 30-1034P, 100-Pk

Good and easy and quick

These are a godsend. I have been wiring my house and fighting to keep wires secure and connected with traditional wire nuts all along. I also have arthritis, so after a long day of twisting down wire nuts, my hands were killing me. Then I started working in some shallow ceiling boxes that didn't really have room for the wire nuts and I decided to give these little gems a try. Boy am I glad I did! These connectors are as close to ideal as you can get (pun intended). Once the wires are stripped, you just slide the ends into a slot and you are done. They have a capture mechanism that locks onto the wire, providing a solid connection and preventing them from ever backing out, unlike wire nuts. The clear housing lets you visually verify that the wire is well-seated. As a bonus, they take up a lot less space than a wire nut for the same number of wires and they lay flat against the walls of the electrical box to allow more room for other things. The only negative I can think of is that they are not reusable. If you install one and then have to change what you did, you will have to cut this off, restrip the wire, and use a new one. This really is only a problem if you have really short wires in your box already though and at this price, it's no big deal to toss a few. Since they work so well and you can verify their installation visually though, the chances of having to redo one due to a bad connection are minute, unlike wire nuts that often have to be removed and reset to fix faulty connections. If you haven't ever tried these, don't wait. I'm pretty sure you will wonder why you used wire nuts for so long.

If you want to simplify your life, I highly recommend these push in connectors. My friend, who is not an electrician, introduced me to these, and I'm sold on them. I recently rewired a house and these definitely saved me time and frustration.

Great for quick jobs easy to use

If you hate butt crimps as much as I do, these are for you. Good quality and easy to use. Plan to buy again.

very handy for wiring

Really nice push in connectors. They really help out alot specially when doing multiple circuits. They are really well priced, and they can handle different wire sizes with no problem

if you get the hang of these connectors they can become your best tool. a little high on the price but it sure gives you a clean and faster job. the trick to these is to strip the wires a little more than a 1/4" and insert them all straight. make your bends first and then line them up evenly so that they are all parallel to each other and strip the wires to make final connection. They work great with #12 AWG - #20 AWG solids copper to copper only. Stranded wire gets a little tricky. Grate connection and test up to a 20 Amp 600V max connection with #12/2 NM wire. just make sure no matter what product you use is NEC approved and consult local building codes to determine installation requirements. Don't take my word for it, try it..

Very good product

Absolutely worth every penny, makes your project cleaner, safer and easier. Save yourself a future thumb brace purchase buy this.

They should have explained how to insert multiple heavy gauge wires on the package. It also feels like the connection is not made properly the connector is able to move inside once inserted.
