Default Wago Lever Nuts

I recently discovered something new (to me) which are Wago Lever Nuts. I am doing some home rewiring and discovered these on a Youtube video. They work with solid or stranded wire. Each wire has it's own hole to go into and a lever snugs it down. It also releases the wire by lifting the lever back up. They come in many sizes for multiple connectors. I often see posters wondering how to connect multiple ground wires from the battery pack and I think that these would work well. My local Lowes didn't have these but I bought several assortments from Amazon. These are a great alternative to plastic wire nuts. I got packs of 50 for about $12 each.

Nice find. Seems like a good way to clean up some wiring jobs.

X2 On the Wire nuts! They belong in a enclosed box inside your house, where water, acid, dirt, vibration, UV light will never see them.

I plan on filling them with dielectric grease same as I do for crimps and I'll keep an eye on them.
I actually thought the same about those automotive trailer wire harness clips initially - but darn it they are lasting years and years or service?

I used them rewiring a post lamp and used both the 2 and 3 terminal connectors. These are absolutely wonderful. Also makes it easier if you want to wire something while energized. Make sure that you get the levers 90° open like the pictures show. When opening them up they start resisting at about 30° and you think that the little orange lever is going to snap. Once you get the first one open you will figure it out.
