Just ordered my first Wago Conductor/Nuts/Connectors, I am an old Wire Nut guy. Plan to use these for Under Cabinet COB LED Lights/Wiring, paralleling two strips to a LED Driver Power Supply.

I do like the fact that you can test with these where as with wire nuts it is a hit or miss in getting your test probe to touch the wires.

But at 50+ cents each, bulk, it made for a hard sell for me comparing 10- cents avg. or less bulk for wire nuts. But not buying bulk, well bag of 10 so 80 cents each is what I am paying.

Found this in my shopping searches for Wago Nuts...found it funny/cleaver:

Almost 2 years ago I posted this below, got mixed opinions about the Wagos but mostly positive and some "wait and see".

Like you having a decent test point is a plus AND I especially like being able to undo them to add, subtract or re-arrange a connection.:cool:

Thread 'Anyone out there tried these Wago connectors?'

Not sure where to post this most appropriately, so here goes....

Anybody out there used these yet? I kept seeing them used inside cramped switch and outlet boxes in European and SA videos featuring Shelly Wi-Fi switches. My curiosity peaked so when I discovered they are UL-listed I ordered a 10-pack of the 3 position 221 series (221-413) from Amazon.

The UL approval, the built-in insulation strip length gauge, the allowance for stranded and solid conductors ranging from #28 to #14, provided test points and the clear plastic case for visual inspection convinced...

Thank you, I am going to keep these out of J-Boxes unless I electrical tape them. I have 18 AWG wire so these should work fine, I too have installed thousands of 3M Sctochloks...which is nice for low voltage wiring...

I had to install two automated switches in old house in a few rooms that had ceiling fans / lights / switched outlets and used Wago nuts. Still very tight and all of the boxes were metal so used a plastic mud plate to expand space. 1/2 of the duplex wall outlets were switched at the wall. Original wire nuts would not have worked with these in wall boxes. Lucky too that all of the duplex switches / mudplates cover 4 X 4 boxes in this home and last three homes.

Just redid my transfer switch wiring removing wire nuts and replacing them with Wagos.

This is a UPB switch and a combo...
