Wago 221-612 Lever-Nuts 10AWG 2 Conductor Compact Wire Connectors 10 PK

Easy peasy, nice and easy for an old lady to fix her dryer her "dang" self. Non of that twisty wire stuff, my fingers don't like that at all. Get these for the higher voltage and heat. Can't wait to need the butt splice type on the lower voltage one. Maybe i will order some of those " just in case I need them".

These are so much better than wire nuts. They work great and install easily. They can easily be reused if needed. Disconnecting and reconnecting is very easy.

I never really trusted wire nuts, especially if there are more than 2 wires. I would shove the wires back in the box, close it up and walk away thinking, "Is this mess going to come undone during the night?" It could be I was doing it wrong. Fair enough. With the Wago lever nuts, even I can't screw it up. The wiring is neat and secure and compact enough to shove in the box safely.

This is a two wire connector the is so easy to use, a cave man can do it, No tape, no wire nuts, very simple!!

These have been a blessing. Forget ever using wire caps again recommend engineering a secondary lock on them tho I just use eltrical tape as an added security if these where waterproof the wonders!

I bought these for my garbage disposal installation. They worked like a charm while watching the YouTube videos. I now have extras that I probably won’t need, but hey it got the job done and is a great connection that I don’t have to worry about being disconnected.

Easy to use. Great for DIYer doing simple electrical work

Work well with #10 awg and smaller wires. Wago quality is excellent.

Quick note: The numbers matter! 41x connectors can hold wires up to 4mm (12 AWG) in size, whereas the 61x can hold wires as big as 6mm (10 AWG). x12 can hold 2 conductors, x13 can hold 3, x14 can hold 4, and x15 can hold 5.. The 6 series is visibly larger than the 4 series, so it takes more space in the device box. In practice, this only matters if outlet real estate is tight. -- I'm an electrician in Canada, and I use Wago 221-41x connectors in almost every outlet* in my house. While wire nuts are great because they simply insulate and protect a connection between wires, lever nuts are ideal for stranded wire, dissimilar metals, large wires, small wires, wires of varying sizes, and probably other things I can't think of. They're easier to use in tight spaces than wire nuts which saves me time and frustration, and they hold on surprisingly tight! I've used off-brand lever nuts from Canadian Tire, but those couldn't even do their job. I'm not supposed to be able to just pull the wires out... Fortunately, the Wago lever nuts grab tighter than a tick without damaging the wire, which is exactly what you need when doing residential wiring. Instead of digging into the wire to hold it, these use a strip of metal (I think it's copper) under tension to press down against the wire, which does an excellent job of keeping it very firmly in place without having to ruin the wire like push wire connectors would. Many North American electricians prefer wire nuts because of tradition and the aforementioned insulation and protection, but this requires twisting the wires together. Unless your wire nuts have wings, you'll be doing the twisting manually, which has the potential to damage and/or waste wire if you make any mistakes. You have to cut off the tip of the twist anyway in order for the nut to fit properly, and you have to cut the twist off to change the wiring because otherwise you'll be working with damaged wires, which is awful practice. While it's an objectively better method for a strong, permanent connection, it's still using wire up every time you work with it. If you expect to change wiring more than once a decade, I recommend lever nuts. You don't have to cut the wire, only strip the insulator back a bit, and only once. Changing the wiring doesn't require any cutting, just re-open the lever. If the lever gets weak from frequent use (and I do mean frequent), it's as simple as just replacing the connector. The wires all fit into the new Wago just as they did with the old one. Wire nuts are better for untouched, long-term connections between solid wires of a similar metal, and these Wago 221s are good for everything else. I keep several dozens of both in my workshop for work around the house - but this isn't a wire nut product page, now is it? :P These glorious little buggers are well worth the money. Get like 20 to 50 412 connectors to keep around, and like a dozen 413 connectors too. If you're going to replace a switch or a receptacle, get at least 3 of these x12 connectors, and one or two x13 connectors as well. -- *You're probably thinking of receptacles, which are where you plug things in. Outlets are the boxes where you install switches/receptacles/etc.

Good Product

I needed some connectors for a solar system and my wires coming in the house were extremely short. These connectors made it super easy to join the wires to the inverter. I had stranded wires on one side and solid on other and it was super easy to fit both and they hold very well. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

Works well, seem to be good quality.

Happy customer. I like that these are good for up to 10 AWG wire.
