Easy to use, but you must pick up a torque limited screwdriver
I have an older rental house with aluminum wiring. These connectors seem much more secure and reliable than the purple twist ons. Be sure to get a torque screwdriver to properly install these. The wiring I encountered was 12ga so I had to back out the lugs almost all the way to get the wires properly seated. I like that they have two-wire versions for tight electrical boxes as these connectors are rather large. Also, I found some shallow GFCI receptacles that helped free up space (Leviton GFTR1-3W).

worth it
Expensive, but cheaper here than anywhere else, easy learning curve to switch house from aluminum to copper wiring.

Great product.
Very nice people to work with. Very fast delivery.

Expensive but necessary
You have to purchase a torque screwdriver to properly install which was around $60. And the connectors aren’t cheap. But, with aluminum wiring, these are the most recommended way to prevent fire hazard issues. Also, they are a little bulky. I’ve had to replace some of the electrical boxes with extra large ones. Overall… cheaper than replacement of copper wiring and worth the peace of mind. Take your time and knock out a room at a time.

safer home!
Does a great job at not mixing aluminum with copper wire! Easy to use, just make sure not to loosen screws too much cause they easily fall out and then need to take time to reinstall them. cover stays closed when snapped. Wish they were a little cheaper but worth it to keep you and your family safe! And make sure to get torgue screwdriver to tighten down to manufacturer's recommendations!

Ordered 100 units and received 100 units
Several months ago I ordered a box of 100 alumiconns but only received 82 units. Sent the entire order back. This time I actually received exactly 100 units and am happy now. All pieces are open and unused. The last time I ordered some of the pieces were snapped closed and you could tell they had been used because some of the anti-ox paste was missing. This time around I received a proper order. Thanks!

These are the aluminum <-> copper connectors to use
I bought some purple wirenuts at the box store which claimed to be okay for aluminum<->copper wire connections, but from what I understand, these are the UL recommended items to use, so I bought a set of these. So far, so good.

Pleased
I'm not an electrician, just a layman doing some electrical work in my home. I've done plenty before - under the guidance of electrician friends - so I know what I'm doing. But when it comes to aluminum wire, well, I don't. My research indicated this was the best product for connecting aluminum wire to aluminum wire, or aluminum wire to copper wire. Not much information was out there about connecting copper clad aluminum wire to copper wire, which is what I had to do. What did exist indicated that this would be the safest way to go, if not overkill.I only needed two of these, and was pleased to find them on Amazon for just a little change over the per each price when bought in a box of 100. I found the product easy to use and I'm satisfied that I've taken no chances with my house, my family and the safety of both.I don't know of another product like this. If you need connect aluminum wire to copper or aluminum, this is it. If you need to connect copper clad aluminum to well, anything else including itself, I think this is it, but that's not a documented fact.I will note that they came in a plastic bag. No labeling, no instructions. Perhaps the seller bought in bulk and sells them per each. All I know is they didn't appear to be labeled for per each sale. This didn't bother me, but please be aware that there are some torque guidelines the manufacturer recommends and without the documentation, you wouldn't know that nor what they are. I'm a perfectionist so even though I thought use of the product seemed pretty self-explanatory, I did a quick Google search and came up with the manufacturers website / instructions. Will your house burn down if you don't follow the recommended torque? I don't know, but the reason I bought these was to take no chances so I'm glad I sought out the instructions.I would certainly buy again or recommend to a friend.

good choice
It's safe, easy to install and meets safety regulations. I really like the fact that I don't have to twist the aluminum wire. This helps to avoid breakage.

I don’t often give five star reviews for anything. All things can be improved. These however….
These are brilliant. Ever try to wire a light fixture with tiny stranded aluminum wire normal gauge household copper wiring?? It’s difficult unless you are a pro electrician. And the wire connectors sold for aluminum to copper are too big for a small aluminum strand to household copper. These make the task simple,secure and much safer in my non expert opinion. Most people also don’t know that aluminum to copper connections require a antioxidant lubricant on both wires. These connectors already have it filled in the holes.Awesome product. They only improvement I see that could be made is the price!!! YIKES!! And the fact that you MUST torque the screws to 15 foot-lbs using a torque screwdriver. I had one. You would be amazed how much torque 15 foot lbs is. Great product. I gave it 5 stars but due to the price it’s really 4.5. But I would buy them again anyway

Best solution for pig tailing aluminium wire with copper
I wanted to copper pigtail an aluminum wired house and found that I was faced with very short wires in the junction boxes. I found the Alumiconn was easier to use than the wire nut variety, I was somewhat concerned about the size of the Alumiconn might be difficult to fit as a lot of the junction boxes had nails driven through the box. However with some planning on the wire management I found it was possible. Although the Alumiconn is the more expensive solution than purple wire nuts or the T&B ACS wire nuts, I believe having the wires terminated individually provides a superior connection.
