Ideal Electrical 30-01L25 in-Sure Lever Wire Connector 5-Port, 10/Bag

I grew up using the old wire nuts that my dad did. These are the perfect size for 2 wires. The levers make them easy to use. there are very few issues with quality in them. Simply put they function well

I got the jar of 500 (didn't believe the price either) and actually counted them where I got 509. I've been using them to make solid connections including as quick connects/disconnects to outlets and switches, as well as to extend wires with them instead of wire nuts. They work really well and are less destructive to wire ends than wire nuts or traditional push-in wire connectors. They also make it easy for temporary work or where it's just testing out if something works. I've been using them where I make a short length of wire from a switch/receptacle to the lever connector, and then insert the wire into the connector where it's easy to swap out the switch/receptacle. That made it easy to reuse both the switch/receptacle as well as the connection, where previously I would have probably ended up with a wire loop (from a wire or a pigtail) around a screw that couldn't be reused and had to be cut off and redone.The big competitor for Ideal's ln-Sure L2 is the WAGO 221. Those are more compact, but in my hand, the Ideal lever connectors feel more "substantial" while the WAGO 221 feels almost "delicate" in comparison. Those are the standard by which lever wire connectors are judged, but I think Ideal has a winner that has certain advantages like the lever opposite the wire ports, and the heft.

Really like these. Hold better than the "orange" ones from another company.

The connector allows adding an additional circuit without being tempted to put two wires on each lug of the existing wall plug. It is so easy to use. It grabs and holds each wire. It has a lever for each wire to released it from the connector.

Works as advertised, these are great for splicing different wire gauges like when hanging fixtures or ceiling fans.

Had some slight issues with smaller gauge wire pulling out but mainly stranded. Just doubled over and reinserted and held fine.

Alternative to Wago Connectors.

Works perfectly!
