    I don’t trust them compared to wire nuts. In a full box it seems too easy to accidentally lift a lever and have a loose connection.

    For the same reason, push in connections really don’t do it for me. If the wires can move I do not like it. Hard twists with lineman’s pliers then a wire nut so tight you need pliers to remove is the only way I’m doing business. Maybe unnecessary for 2 gang boxes, but if you’ve got 4 or 6… I’d rather do overkill.

    Only exception, the waygos are nice in ceiling fan installs when you have plenty of space and no risk of loosening.

      I get that. But I can count on my missing fingers the number of times I’ve come across a bad connection on twist connectors. I’ve had zero in ten years with wagos. Anecdotal, sure. But personally I swear by them. They’re worth the cost.

      I agree on the push connectors though. Those are dumb.
