Which do you prefer working with?

I myself prefer Wagos and hate taking out my pillars to twist them.

They are certainly more expensive, I can find them at my local Lowes so no longer sure it is a offshore thing.

I hate wire nuts. Wagos FTW.

Times 87 when you have to connect an 18 gage stranded wire to two (2) 14 gage solid wires.

OK? I deserve that.

What about when a person knows about wire guage and to use a Wago correctly?

Also I don't see how some idiot just using a wire nut would help.

ETA: I am not an idiot that expects you to pay attention to you guy's but I know the difference between 18 an 14 solid and stranded wire as well.

FYI F-15's standard volts was 115V at 400hz (something you never experienced AC) and 15C DC at the same time.

I know about AC/DC Voltage and probably better than you......since you went all petty I decided to do same thing.


What I am was lacking in was turning my F-15 voltage into home knowledge. Congrats you failed in that attempt by insulting me.

Wirenuts are more easy to take apart. Plus if it fits it ships. Shove eight 12 gauge wires in a red wirenut. Can’t do that with a wago.

So you just mentioned the positive about them... "Shove eight 12 gauge wires in a red wirenut. Can't do that with a wago."

What is the disadvantage?

Disadvantage of a wirenut is if you get the wires not together right one might pull out.

That's a pretty bad idea.

Wagos generally, but if there's more than 4 wirenuts nuts all the way. Just make sure you don't get fakes. These are fakes. Attachment Attached File

Dude wtf? Nobody insulted you or even tried to in this retarded thread. If you want to use a motherfucking wago, have a fucking nut!
You could have scrolled down on the topics a bit more and gotten real world experience on the matter, but you chose to be a dick.

Haha, I was reading his response and was baffled at what he was all upset about so I re-read your response, read his again, thought I had to be missing something then decided whatever drugs F15mech is on are probably some powerful goods!

Wagos for me

I much prefer wagos over wire nuts.

Especially when you are on top of an extension ladder wiring new light fixtures.

Much easier and nearly fool proof.

A red wire nut only has a capacity of 5 #12 wires.

Real look like this



Fakes look like what I posted.  They have square bodies and angled levers rather than slightly curved bodies and arched levers.
